Re: IFS CCSID 1025

Hi Wim,

Your code is set up to translate data from one CCSID to another. Are the cyrillic characters allowed in both the job's CCSID and also CCSID 1025? Obviously, if you can't produce the characters in the source CCSID, you won't be able to translate them to the target CCSID, either.

Hi All

I know this has been discussed before, but I have no clue....

So here I go;

We have users with Client Access Cyrillic fonts installed and sessions with ccsid 1025.
They key in Russian data which looks nice on their pc, with their settings. (it looks likes random special characters to us)

When I create a .txt file in the IFS (enabling translation ccsid=1025) the data is still scrambled eggs.
I must be overlooking something obvious....

We have a VB workaround which creates a .txt file with encoding=unicode and ccsid 1025.
But I just don't like the detour.

Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks in advance & Have a Nice day
