Hi sjl,

One of the features offered by the IBM Midrange platform is an ability to build and use custom character translation tables as an additional supplement to the base support offered by a particular CCSID.

You might want to check with the Japanese subsidiary to see if they followed this path and if so whether they could e-mail the relevant table or tables to you. There is an import method you need to follow correctly to have the tables update your system to make the DBCS data reference the proper characters.

subject: How to fix invalid DBCS data?

All -

We are in the process of migrating historical data from a Japanese
subsidiary into our JDE system, and we have found that some of their files
have invalid data in some of the fields. I would like to be able to write a
program that can identify which fields in which records have potentially
invalid DBCS data.

The files in question are CCSID 930.
