Error description

• The Dead Letter Handler CSQUDLQH receives an error of
  
  CSQU211I Unable to put message, line 6 MQRC=2142
  (MQRC_HEADER_ERROR)
  
  The error does not occur when the Dead Letter Queue ( DLQ ) has
  PROPCTL(COMPAT) but does when it has PROPCTL(FORCE), which
  generates an RFH2 header.
  
  Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s):
  2142 0x0000085E 0000085E MQRC_HEADER_ERROR
  

Local fix

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When forwarding the message, the message properties are assumed
  to be in an MQRFH2 header, due to the PROPCTL(FORCE) queue
  option. The actual message to be put to a target queue does not
  have an MQRFH2 header, so MQRC_HEADER_ERROR is received.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been changed to use the correct format of the message
  to be forwarded.
