MQSeries UnsupportedEncodingException: 1051 exception

[Ren Hoek]

I'm getting UnsupportedEncodingException: 1051 exception exception when I try to convert and MQMessage to a String (str = MQMessage.readString( ... ).
My application has been in use for a couple of years, and I've never had this problem. I'm reading from a new queue, but I don't know what would cause this error.
Any ideas??

I am having similar issues. It works on winXP but not on win2000? On win2000, this process of readString works as a bat file but if I install this as an NT service: I get:

Read characterset=500

Appreciate any feedback on your fix.
