JMS EBCDIC BytesMessage Problem

Question

We are using the strict JMS API to send message to MQ which will kick off an IMS transaction. We are connecting to IMS using the OTMA bridge. We are trying to send a BytesMessage which kicks off the transaction successfully and a BytesMessage is returmed to our local queue with the resulting message String from IMS transaction. When we go to pull the
We get a garbage message along the lines of:
�����������@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@....
AppServer: Linux box running WAS 5.1
Mainframe: z/OS box
Does anybody know what needs to be set before the message is sent and what needs to be done after we get the message in order for us to get the message string into a UTF format that isn't garbled?
// setting the following JMS props
msg.setStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Format", "MQIMSVS");
msg.setStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Character_Set", "819");
// pulling out the message body
BytesMessage bymRecv = (BytesMessage)recv.receive(5000);
// retrieve the message body               
byte msgInBytes[];
ByteArrayOutputStream bout;
int lenRead;
msgInBytes = new byte[100];
lenRead = bymRecv.readBytes(msgInBytes, 100);
bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();          
bout.write(msgInBytes, 0, lenRead);
outputString = bout.toString("CP1047"); // not sure if this is right
Or, if we are doing this completely wrong, does anybody have any suggestions.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Above problem could be resolved.
1. The problem only occured when sending a message within a transaction. Without transaction everything worked fine.
2. Due to this strange behaviour we assumed that this is a bug - and it was. This bug has the issue nummer: 5331629. In version 10.1.3.1.0 this issue is resolved. We tested it and indeed it worked as excpected.
