Yesterday I downloaded the CGIDEV2 from IBM and installed it this morning. As part of the install it said the system value QCCSID could not be 65535 or it wouldn't work. The README said "No impact to existing production." Ours was 65535 so I changed it to 37 and restarted the HTTP server per the instructions. (We have no web site.)

About that same time orders that are transmitted from our salespeople stopped being processed properly. What is supposed to happen is the order is FTPed from a W2K Server PC to the iSeries, a REXEC is fired off to process the order, and the results are FTPed back to the W2K Server. What actually happened is the order would be FTPed to the iSeries and not processed. It's as if the REXEC was never fired. But the job _must_ have been fired because there are begin/end entries in the system log, but no job log. And I could fire them off manually at the command line and they would be processed.

Finally I just ended the HTTP server, changed the CCSID back to 65535, and rebooted the W2K Server. After that, now all is well.

Could my changing the CCSID have caused this? It sure seems like more than coincidence, but I need smarter brains than mine to figure it out.

I will be out this afternoon, but checking email throughout the weekend. Thanks.
