MQCHAR

The MQCHAR data type represents a single-byte character, or one byte of a double-byte or multi-byte character. No special alignment is required.

When MQCHAR data is sent between queue managers that use different character sets or encodings, the MQCHAR data usually requires conversion in order for the data to be interpreted correctly. The queue manager does this automatically for MQCHAR data in the MQMD structure. Conversion of MQCHAR data in the application message data is controlled by the MQGMO_CONVERT option specified on the MQGET call; see the description of this option in MQGMO - Get-message options for further details.
