If the assumption is that the CCSID on the file is wrong, you can use one of the following commands to change it to a correct one. It's important to understand that these just change the CCSID attribute of the file, they do not do any translation of the data from one CCSID to another. >From the OS/400 command line: CHGATR OBJ('/path/to/myfile') ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(37) >From QShell: setccsid 37 /path/to/myfile If you do want to do translation of the data, for example if you know that the data is ASCII and you want to translate it to EBCDIC: >From the command line: CPY OBJ('/path/to/myfile') TOOBJ('/path/to/newfile') FROMCCSID(850) TOCCSID(37) DTAFMT(*TEXT) >From QShell: iconv -f 850 -t 37 /path/to/myfile > /path/to/newfile setccsid 37 /path/to/newfile
