Re: DELTREE Question

Hi Michael,

DELTREER4 calls an API (Qp0lProcessSubtree) to get a list of files. The API outputs the filenames in Unicode (UTF-16, which is CCSID 1200). when DEBUG(*YES) is given, the program then tries to copy the filename to an EBCDIC field in order to print it.

When it does that, RPG automatically translates it from UTF-16 (CCSID 1200) to an EBCDIC CCSID, apparently 937 in your case? (It should be the mixed CCSID associated with the job CCSID.)

I'm not sure why it would fail with regard to CCSID 937, or why yours would be 937 to begin with. (937 = Chinese?) and I haven't encountered this error myself.

Hopefully with the explanation I've given you here, you'll have an idea of what to look at next?

I receive the following error when executing the DELTREE command.... I
am not very familiar with CCSID's, what they do and how this might
impact this program.


This error occurs only when DEBUG(*YES) is specified.


Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
