MQSeries.net :: View topic - little and big endian in DLQ-Header at the same QMgr

Hi

Years ago i wrote java application to summarize the DLQs of our (AIX) QMgrs.

After the migration to aix 7x and mq 7x sometimes the DLQ-Header of messages is not readable for my program.

Code to get the MQRC:
retrievedMessage = new MQMessage();
...
retrievedMessage.readStringOfByteLength(8);
rc=""+retrievedMessage.readInt();
System.out.println(rc);

I think the problem is little an big endian(?) (output with MQMON):

Works:
MQRC2035=07F3
+00000000 444C4820 01000000 F3070000

Problem!:
MQRC2085=0825
+00000000 444C4820 00000001 00000825

My main problem is, that I do not understand why there are different endians at the same(!) DLQ.
Has someone an idea?

My second question:
How can I handle this with the in Java?
