How to parse fixed format response message (EBCDIC encoding)
We have file encoding configuration set to UTF-8 and many integrations are working using UTF-8 format using XMLs in communication.
We have a new requirement to send and receive the responses in Fixed message formats through connect JMS. We could able to send and receive the response.
Response we receive contains tilde(~) but in log we could see (¯ ) in place of ~.
How to parse the tilde chararcters properly in PRPC?

what is your prpc version here? Normally the encoding can be set at the JMS queue level, see for example: https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/encoding-issue-while-sending-message-mq-server let us know this helps.

In order to know if this issue is pega related or not, I would suggest you write a simple sample JMS client to consume your message (e.g. http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/J2EE/ThisexampleisasimpleJMSclientapplication.htm). If you see the same issue, then the issue may be on the MQ server configuration. Otherwise, it is likely pega defect, in that case, create a SR and GCS will help you further.

Hi Kevin,
In JMS rule, response data type is String. Does pega do conversion into string (guess it would be ASCII characters) as and when the response received from MQ? Should we need to have any explicit logic for conversion of characters.
Does it make any difference if character Data type in JMS rule is used instead of String?

do not think that matters. What application server are you using? Websphere? That should take care of it: see here: IBM Knowledge Center. Websphere Application Server MQ adaptor is supposed to handle that.
