Before down loading a file from this page, check in your AIX directory
/usr/lib/nls/loc/iconvTable after you have installed MQ and the latest
PTFs for MQ because new tables are added to the basic AIX support by MQ
and by some MQ PTFs.

The tables add support for conversion between two codesets. The codeset
names are the names used on AIX for the CCSIDs you need to support. For
most CCSIDs the codeset name used on AIX is IBM-nnnn where nnnn is the
CCSID number. For CCSID 819 the codeset name is ISO8859-1.

To install support for conversion between two codesets, say
<from-codeset> and <to-codeset>, you need to download in binary the
files <from-codeset>_<to-codeset> and <to-codeset>_<from-codeset> and
install them in the directory /usr/lib/nls/loc/iconvTable and name them
exactly as shown in the AIX directory containing this readme file. Your
user id requires superuser authority on AIX to make this addition. After
installing, list the access authority for each file and make sure it is
at least read for all categories. Use the AIX 'chmod' command to change
this if needed.

After installing, log on as an ordinary user and use the iconv command
iconv -f <from-codeset> -t <to-codeset><somefile>
The content of 'somefile' should be converted and displayed on the
console. If you get a conversion open failure, check the names of the
codesets used for the conversion tables and the read authority which
they have.
