If a conversion error occurs while sending a message to a message queue, the message is still sent to the message queue. However, the immediate text or data of the message is not converted.
A diagnostic message is sent and the message is tagged with the message-level CCSID specified on the send command or API, not with the CCSID of the message queue.
You can recover the replacement data or immediate message text with the proper CCSID setting. First, set the message queue CCSID to 65534. Then use the Receive Message command or API to return the correct message-level CCSID.
