I'm sorry to pop in like that, but the message quoted is not quite correct
on several accounts.

First of all, translation tables in QUSRSYS are used only for CHRID
character conversion (I forget now what parts of OS make use of them -
pre-version 3? one of them was OV/400, now extinct). Most of the CCSID-based
character conversion makes use of core translation tables one cannot modify.
Second, ODBC is usually CCSID-aware. Please refer to CA/400 documentation
for details. Third, Unicode is now supported by AS/400 (Oops! iSeries
eServer 400? eSeries iServer 400? never mind), so you can actually choose
whether to store your data in Unicode, DBCS code pages (IBM double-byte
coding scheme) or SBCS (single-byte coding scheme).

I suggest you browse the following manuals (both available on I-net):

 AS/400 International Application Development
 AS/400 National Language Support

the

etc.
