Mike,

If you do decide to change QCCSID, be aware that you won't really know the full 
impact until you IPL because jobs (system or user) that are already running 
will not change dynamically. Only new jobs starting up will pick up the change.

When we got into Java and JDBC, we started having to move away from CCSID 65535 
(V5R3 really enforced that), and ask our customers to do so. This was kind of 
scary at first, but we really haven't seen any problems from it. As far as I 
know, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, AS/400s outside the US 
have been accustomed to QCCSIDs not equal to 65535 for a long time. In the US, 
we're kind of stuck on this default from the "old days".

Subject: CCSID Question


One of the instructions in this setup manual I have is to change th CCSID of
the system. Currently it is set at 65535 and they want me to change it to
37. I really don't understand much about the CCSID. What impact would that
have on a system in general? The option (which I am doing so far) is to
change the default CCSID for a user.
