By convention a CCSID of 0 indicates to use the job or job default CCSID,
and 65535 indicates that no CCSID processing should be performed.
If this were an API I would expect a value of -1 to typically be used for
*ALL. A possible alternative would be to use 65534, which indicates to go
to a lower level in a hierarchy to determine the CCSID. For instance a
*MSGF with 65534 indicates to use the *MSGD CCSID value (rather than the
*MSGF CCSID). Here it might mean 'use whatever CCSID you find at the file
level'.
My personal preference would be -1.

RE: Converting CCSIDs

Please respond to
RPG programming
on the AS400 /
iSeries
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

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.
