Supported code pages

Application messages must conform to supported code sets.

The message flows that you create, configure, and deploy to a broker can process and construct application messages in any code page for which WebSphere MQ supports conversion to and from Unicode, on all operating systems. Supported code pages are listed in the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Reference.

This behavior might be affected by the use of other products with WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker. Check the documentation for other products, including any databases that you use, for further code set support information.

If you experience code page translation problems on HP-UX, check the WebSphere MQ queue manager attribute CodedCharSetID. The default value for this attribute is 1051. Change this to 819 for queue managers that host WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker components.

Refer to Chinese code page GB18030 for detailed information about Chinese code page GB18030 support.
