pq05499.st INCORRECT VALUE FOR THE CONSTANT MQENCNATIVE CAUSES TRANSLATION ERRORS ON AIX The MQMD (MQ message descriptor) contains control information that accompanies application data when a message travels between the sending and receiving applications. One of the fields in this structure is for data encoding. This field identifies the representation used for numeric values in the application message data; this applies to binary integer data, packed-decimal data and floating-point data. The value of the constant MQENC_NATIVE specifies native machine encoding. Applications that put messages should normally specify MQENC_NATIVE. The MQENC_NATIVE constant is defined in the AbtMQConstants; key is MqencNative, value is 546. This is the incorrect value for the constant on AIX. The correct value is 273. Workaround: In AbtMQSeriesBaseApp class>>_PRAGMA_AbtMQConstant change the value of the MqencNative from 546 to 273 as illustrated below. (name: MqencNative isConstant: true valueExpression: '273') Note - On 3.0a this value has to be chanegd in the toBeLoadedCode
