RE: Converting CCSIDs

I guess I didn't explain well enough, sorry. I hope this clarifies the
situation.

If a convert from CCSID value, other than 0 is passed, only files of that
specific CCSID will be converted, if the convert from CCSID = 0 ('*ALL"
Value) then all files will be converted.


This is the relavant code snippit:

If fileStat.CCSID <> toCCSID;                                      //
Conversion Required  
   If fromCCSID = 0 or                                             //
Convert All CCSIDs   
     fileStat.CCSID = fromCCSID;                                   //
Specific CCSIDs      

// Process the conversion
 
Is 0 the logical value? Would 65535 or some other value be better?

Thanks
Duane Christen

I don't understand what you mean by *ALL?!  Everything has to be one CCSID 
or another, right?  How can it have all CCSIDs?  Doesn't make any sense.
