Re: Problem copying PC document to DDS file with accentuated characters

Hello Dave,

Am 24.03.2021 um 15:30 schrieb Dave <dfx1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

I receive a CSV file from an external source by FTP

Which code page (charset) is this file supposed to have?

I upload it to QDLS (via the tool in ACS)


I don't know what ACS does in terms of charset translations, so I can't help you here.

I copy it to my DDS PF with CPYFRMIMPF


Any options regarding charset you gave?

The CCSID is 850. The CCSID of my DDS PF is 297.

Sounds about right.

I can get round this by using SQL replace but surely there is a correct way
to do this?

You can convert files in IFS with the CPY DTAFMT(*TEXT) command. See online help text for it.

HTH.

:wq! PoC
