My CCSID is set to 65535 (was Print and email a file in the IFS)

Eric (& others),

I know I've seen a lot of posts about CCSID but I haven't paid much
attention to them. For some reason, this posting stuck out a bit more.

<snip>
Make sure your QCCSID system value is not 65535, as this setting disables
much of the data conversion that is supposed to occur when exporting data
to the IFS.

As it turns out, I'm on two system (test/development & production) that
are both set with QCCSID to 65535.

If I DSPJOB, I see:
Coded character set identifier . . . . . . . . . : 65535
Default coded character set identifier . . . . . : 37

I'm not sure what these two do.(?)

What, if anything, is not going to work properly?

Everything seems to be working that I know of.
Should I be worried about something or bring this up with anyone?
Is there a strong reason to change the system value?
What, if anything, will stop working if this is changed?

Tks,
