Hi,
I'm having an issue where an application password that contains the special charater '®' (alt-0174), it is being converted to '?' and hence becoming invalid.
It's entered via an ASP.NET app running on Windows 2003 then going through Websphere MQ 5.3 client to a microfocus Cobol program running on a unix server. I can step through the ASP.NET code and the character remains as '®'. However once it hits the Cobol program something has converted it to '?'. The interesting thing is we have a VB6.0 app which calls the same Cobol program and it doesn't convert the password character? So as far as I can tell either Websphere or IIS is changed the password's special character? I've added a similar thread to the IIS forum as well.
I looked at IBM's websphere forum/support pages with no joy. Have any of you heard of Websphere changing special characters like this?
