MQCHAR (character) on IBM® i

The MQCHAR data type represents a single character.

The coded character set identifier of the character is that of the queue manager (see the CodedCharSetId attribute in topic CodedCharSetId ). No special alignment is required.

Note: Application message data specified on the MQGET, MQPUT, and MQPUT1 calls is described by the MQBYTE data type, not the MQCHAR data type.
