Re: Generating a File from STRSQL

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Same here - it was no problem changing it live here. But do not do it on 
your own!! You might try changing your job and see what happens. Or 
change the CCSID in your user profile - that's where it comes from for 
the job. Until the system value is changed - *SYSVAL is the default in 
your user profile, I think.
