Folks:

I've got a CCSID problem that's been bugging me for quite a while.

We've got an application that has it's data and messages stored with CCSID 37.

When we run the application in a CCSID 5035 job, we get a bunch of CPF427D messages (sev 10) in the message subfile whenever the database files are open ("Substitution characters may be used in data conversion.").

We initially thought the message was showing up because there was no translation table between CCSID 37 and 5035, but I have determined that such a translation table does exist (since messages with CCSID 37 show up fine in CCSID 5035).

All the character fields in the database files contain nothing but English upper & lower case data. There is no double byte data in the files.

If we change the database files to CCSID 290, we don't get the message.

Is there something we need to do to the database files so the CPF427D message doesn't show up?
