  The "z/OS conversion support" reference table in the WebSphere
  MQ InfoCenter contains an incorrect list of supported
  conversions for CCSID 5123.
  
  There are numerous entries that are not supported, and some
  conversions that are supported are omitted.
  
  In addition, there are a small number of entries relating to
  CCSID 1047 that are also incorrect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following WebSphere MQ InfoCenter section is to be updated:
  
   Reference ->
     Developing Applications Reference ->
       MQI Applications Reference ->
         Code page conversion ->
           z/OS conversion support
  
  Under CCISD 1047's entry, the following CCSIDs in the "Converts
  to and from CCSIDs" list are to be removed:
  
  4971, 5123, 9044
  
  Under CCSID 5123's entry, the following CCSIDs in the "Converts
  to and from CCSIDs" list are to be removed:
  
  37, 256, 273, 277, 278, 280, 284, 285, 297, 500, 737, 775, 813,

  25619, 25664, 28709
  
  
  Under CCISD 5123's entry, the following CCSIDs in the "Converts
  to and from CCSIDs" list are to be added:
  
  1140-1149, 1156, 1157, 1160, 5348
