| Do anyone know how can I convert UTF-8 from PC to EBCDIC in Mainframe where Mainframe runs on MQSeries V2.1? Is it possible? |

It should get automatically converted if u use the CONVERT option in the MQGMO and then try using the getting the message.
I have worked across NT and Mainframe, and didnt have to use anything other than this. |

What Nirmala said is true if you have message with text Body. If your message body contains Decimals and Integers then you have to use other mechanism.
In past I had used IBM Record Library or MQSI to do this type of conversion.

Perhaps this is not your case, but: if your messages contain RFH2 folders they will not get converted. I send messages containing RFH2 folders from UNIX to mainframe and the folders must be converted manually (unless I'm missing something).

| Piotr, you have to make sure that you have proper encoding in all Headers. |

Do you mean it is possible to have MQRFH2 folders' content automatically converted by sender channel?

So is there a general rule that says when conversion occurs and when it doesn't? What I can gather from documentation is only that once you retrieve a message you can rely on CCSIDs in each header, but "each part of a message may or may not be converted".
Let's say we have the following message:
MQMD:
CodedCharSetId=912
Format=MQRFH2
Encoding=273
MQRFH2:
CodedCharSetId=912
NameValueCCSID=1208
Format=MQSTR
Encoding=273
Assuming we have some MQRFH2 folders (1208) and some text (912) after MQRFH2 header, what rules does MQSeries follow to convert each part, when such a message is sent to mainframe?
