| Can someone provide some assistance? I am receiving fixed-length, 64-byte, binary Point of Sale messages from a store and need to map this data into an XML structure so that I can write records to a database as part of a message flow. I have defined a msgset with a CWF format so that I can parse the incoming msg into its individual fields. The problem is that the binary data is apparently in BCD format - when I try to read the message in an MQInput node I get a parsing error. When I use another binary file that represents EBCDIC data it parses successfully. Can I assume from this that the data is not correct (maybe a bit combination is "irritating" the MRM parser?). |

| Not sure if the broker can handle BCD data! You might need to convert it to EBCDIC first. Read it off the queue as a BLOB -i.e. no message set/type defined on the MQInput node. Pass this a java compute node or java routine to convert it and then use an RCD node with your message set /type set . |

| Would this data be in the TLOG format, by any chance? |

| Contact IBM Dublin - they have a pre-built solution for parsing TLOG data. |
