Read and send Arabic characters to MQM

  • 1.  Read and send Arabic characters to MQM

    Posted Mon January 25, 2021 08:09 AM

    Hello,

    I am trying to read and send Arabic characters to the MQM using a .NET application.

    When sending an Arabic value it usually go well, but when reading an Arabic value it comes as gibberish letters.

    I even checked in the MQM console to know how the message is displayed in the out queue and it is the same format that i am receiving.

    So i am trying to find a way to parse these characters to Arabic characters and read them in my application.

    Please if someone could guide me through the troubleshooting and what should be done, i appreciate it.

    Regards,

    Maher.

    you need to get the message with a CCSID that will display Arabic characters correctly. This is usually not the case if the code page of your computer does not support Arabic characters. My advice would be to put and get the messages in CCSID 1208 (UTF-8) and then make sure you enable UTF-8 as a code page on your computer and run the client with code page UTF-8
