Re: CSV file creation driving me nuts!

Mike,

When you use the O_TEXT_CREAT flag in the open, the call to open() should
have a fifth parameter: the text file creation conversion id. When you
specify 0 for this parameter, the data will be converted from the job
CCSID to the file CCSID (fourth parameter). Apparently things go haywire
when you omit this parameter (the documentation says that the fifth
parameter is required when using O_TEXT_CREAT, but it does not say what
happens if you omit it).

I swear, this time I am going to do something with the solution so I

don't

loose it cause I know I have asked this exact question about a year or

so

ago and I cannot for the life of me find the solution or the code from

back

then.

Standard affair. Creating a CSV IFS file through Scott's IFS API

wrapper. I

wrote a wrapper to make it easier to use. I swear it worked at one time.

We

are on 6.1. I have garbage in the file both while looking at it in

WRKLNK

and looking at it in RDi.

My code is all located at https://gist.github.com/8bf191a4c9d4456cad16.

I

am positive it is CCSID issues. My job is at CCSID(37). The CCSID for

the

file is always 819 no matter what I change. The code shown is basically
what I seen in a post with Pete and Scott a while back. Still no go.

What

am I doing wrong?
