Re: DBCS and the IFS

I'm opening it with the CCSID specified, that part has
always worked.  We're trying 950 as the CCSID.

I also thought about the job CCSID and default CCSID as
these are used to create the PF that is used, read in, and
converted to an IFS file.

The user has 65535 as the job CCSID and 37 as the default
CCSID.

I though because his job CCSID was not 937 (or even the
CHRID system value), this created the file used with a
CCSID of his job, then trying to convert that CCSID to 937
could be the issue.

Maybe?
