• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The customer is using the CICS bridge and receives the following
  message:
  DFHMQ0746E CKBR 0000444 Invalid CCSID, 500 expected, 1208
           received
  .
  The input system is Message Broker Ver 6 fixpack 3 running on
  Solaris and CICS V3.2. They inspected the message and it
  did contain proper code pages:
  -The RFH2 header has a code page of 1208 and
   the CICS Bridge header and request has a codepage of 500
  .
  The problem is with DFHMQBR0 not issuing an MQGET with
  MQGMO_CONVERT (cbrReMarkMessage) when re-browsing a message
  which could not fit in the original buffer, resulting in message
  DFHMQ0746E being issued.

  ****************************************************************
  A message is put to a CICS bridge request queue. The message is
  in a different CodedCharSetId to that of the queue-manager and
  contains an MQRFH2 header followed by an MQCIH header. The total
  length of the message data including the headers is greater than
  66,388 bytes.
  
  The bridge monitor, DFHMQBR0, attempts to browse the message
  but the buffer specified is not large enough to contain the
  complete message. DFHMQBR0 therefore obtains a larger buffer and
  issues another browse request for the same message. However,
  DFHMQBR0 does not request that the message data is converted to
  the coded character set of the queue-manager. The complete
  message is returned to DFHMQBR0, but it then detects that the
  message data is in a different coded character set to that of
  the queue-manager. Message DFHMQ0746E is therefore issued and
  the message is removed from the request queue and an attempt is
  made to put it to the backout requeue queue associated with the
  request queue or, if no backout requeue queue is specified, to
  the dead-letter queue.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHMQBR0 has been changed to specify MQGMO_CONVERT when
  browsing a message after increasing the size of the message
  buffer.
