Re: CCSID 65535 v5r2-->v5r4 upgrade

Charles,

Changed 2 machines in Europe from 65535 to 297 and 37 recently without issues.

Not saying you won't experience problems, but if you're not doing any multi-ccsid stuff at this point (more than likely not with 65535 as your base) then you're probably ok.

Change your machines to 37. Change your files to 37. running at 65535 is just not right :-)

All,

I'm aware of issues regarding CPYxxxIMPF and CCSID 65535 when moving
to v5r4 from v5r2 or earlier due to the changes at v5r3.

I'm looking for additional issues others may have been bit by.

Particularity in scenarios were there are multiple systems involved,
some at v5r2, some at v5r4, some with CCSID 65335 and some with CCSID
37.

I'm trying to make a case that we should change everything to 37.
Since all our boxes are in the US with US users only.

I'm also pushing for looking at any existing file on the boxes that
has CCSID 65535 to see if it should be changed.

Thank for the ammo!

Charles Wilt
