Error description

• A message sent by a WebSphere MQ (WMQ) Java client at v7 gets
  a character set error in the Java Message Service (JMS) layer
  from the WebSphere Application Server (WAS).
  
  The exception seen is
  ExtendedMessage: Entry; javax.jms.JMSException: MQJMS1006:
  invalid value for 'JMS_IBM_Character_Set': 'IBM-500'.

  com.ibm.msg.client.wmq.v6.jms.internal.ConfigEnvironment.

  send(JMSMessageProducerHandle.java:1182)
  
  
  The same error is observed if the WebSphere MQ Java Message
  Service (JMS) client sets the character set explicitly on the
  outgoing message as:
  
  message.setStringProperty(JmsConstants.JMS_IBM_CHARACTER_SET,
  "IBM-500");
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS v7
  sending messages to a WebSphere MQ v6 queue manager.
  
  The same erroneous behaviour is observed when a WebSphere MQ v6
  JMS client is used to connect to a v6 or a v7 queue manager.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The WebSphere MQ classes for JMS did not recognize the character
  set IBM-500 and hence treated it as a invalid character set.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified so that the WMQ JMS implementation
  recognizes the character set IBM-500.
