2110 (083E) (RC2110): MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR

Explanation

• The format name in the message is MQFMT_NONE.
• A user-written exit with the name specified by the Format field in the message cannot be found.
• The message contains data that is not consistent with the format definition.

The message is returned unconverted to the application issuing the MQGET call, the values of the CodedCharSetId and Encoding fields in the MsgDesc parameter are set to those of the message returned, and the call completes with MQCC_WARNING.

If the message consists of several parts, each of which is described by its own CodedCharSetId and Encoding fields (for example, a message with format name MQFMT_DEAD_LETTER_HEADER), some parts may be converted and other parts not converted. However, the values returned in the various CodedCharSetId and Encoding fields always correctly describe the relevant message data.

Completion code

MQCC_WARNING

Programmer response

Check the format name that was specified when the message was put. If this is not one of the built-in formats, check that a suitable exit with the same name as the format is available for the queue manager to load. Verify that the data in the message corresponds to the format expected by the exit.
