How to set CCSID value to 1208 in function app when trying to push message to MQ queue?

Question

Hi,

I have a service bus trigger which picks a message from the service bus queue, connects with MQ and pushes the message to the MQ queue. However, by default the CCSID is being set to 1200, is there a way to set the CCSID to 1208 inside function app.

This is how i'm trying to set other values:

Azure-search Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. Based on your description and the code snippet, you are using IBM MQ C# library and would like to set CCSID to 1208 when writing a message to MQ queue. Is that correct? (Correct me if I misunderstood)

If so, as per doc: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/7.5?topic=interfaces-mqmessage, you can set the value using CharacterSet property in MQMessage class to 1208 as follows:

// Set the CCSID value to 1208
MQMessage message = new MQMessage();
message.CharacterSet = 1208;

Doc reference:

Note: ReadString method reads in Unicode and WriteString method converts the value based on the value set.

I hope this helps with your question and let me know if you have any other.
