Re: v7r5 writing sftp get files different ccsid

Hi Jim,
In IBM i 7.4, the default is now UTF-8 (1208) for all locales. If a valid
PASE locale is not found for the
current LANGID/CNTRYID, the POSIX locale is still used, but the CCSID is
set to 1208.
Setting the environment variable PASE_DEFAULT_UTF8 to "N" in the current
job will allow the prior
behavior to be used. Any active QP2TERM or QSH sessions will have to be
ended and restarted to take
effect.

Create the environment variable as a system variable to make it global.

Best regards

Stefan

Subject: v7r5 writing sftp get files different ccsid

After V7R5 upgrade, existing sftp get files written as ccsid 1208, where
in prior release v7r3 was 819. Partner has not changed their files, so must
be a setting or new default in 7.4 or 7.5. If in memo to users i missed it.

Is there a global setting i can change without having to update many
programs (most written 2 decades ago) . They are failing to open the
imported files.
I did a chgatr to set 819 ccsid on a single import file and existing
process works.

thanks
Jim Franz
