2146 (0862) (RC2146): MQRC_TARGET_BUFFER_ERROR

Explanation

On the MQXCNVC call, the TargetBuffer parameter pointer is not valid, or points to read-only storage, or to storage that cannot be accessed for the entire length specified by TargetLength. (It is not always possible to detect parameter pointers that are not valid; if not detected, unpredictable results occur.)

This reason code can also occur on the MQGET call when the MQGMO_CONVERT option is specified. In this case it indicates that the MQRC_TARGET_BUFFER_ERROR reason was returned by an MQXCNVC call issued by the data conversion exit.

Completion code

MQCC_WARNING or MQCC_FAILED

Programmer response

Specify a valid buffer. If the reason code occurs on the MQGET call, check that the logic in the data-conversion exit is correct.
