Code page conversion
This section describes codeset names and CCSIDs, national language, z/OS conversion, IBM i conversion, and Unicode conversion support.
Each national language section lists the following information:
- The native CCSIDs supported
- The code page conversions that are not supported
The following terms are used in the information:
- -8
- Indicates for HP-UX that the CCSID is for the HP-UX defined codeset roman8
- AIX®
- Indicates WebSphere® MQ for AIX
- HP-UX
- Indicates WebSphere MQ for HP-UX
- Linux®
- Indicates WebSphere MQ for Linux for Intel and WebSphere MQ for Linux for zSeries
- HP Integrity NonStop Server
- Indicates WebSphere MQ for HP Integrity NonStop Server
- OS/400®
- Indicates WebSphere MQ for IBM® i
- Solaris
- Indicates WebSphere MQ for Solaris
- Windows
- Indicates WebSphere MQ for Windows
- z/OS®

The default for data conversion is for the conversion to be performed at the target (receiving) system.
If the source product supports the conversion a channel can be set up and data exchanged by
setting the channel attribute CONVERT to YES at the source.
Note:
- Conversion for WebSphere MQ MQI client information takes place in the server, so the server must support conversion from the client CCSID to the server CCSID.
- The conversion might include support added by CSD/PTF to the latest version of WebSphere MQ. Check the content of the latest service level to see if you need to install a CSD/PTF to enable this conversion.
See Table 1 for a cross reference between some of the CCSID numbers and some industry codeset names.
