Re: XML Translation Problem - Gotcha with CCSID 1200

Odd, I have an entire suite of apps with UTF-16 databases (CCSID 1200) and
my screens look great -- even in Cyrillic! I think I remember a paper or
article by Bruce Vining about displaying various languages on the screen
using UCS2 support. It works (even for printer files to some extent).

That's weird, because CCSID 13488 and 1200 are essentially the same
thing! 1200 has bunch of extra characters, but by and large they are
the same -- and all of the chars below ASCII 255 are identical.

I wonder if this is a bug in DBU?

In case anyone else tries this, I discovered on "gotcha" is that if I

use CCSID 1200, even "normal" characters are garbled in 5250 applications
(e.g. DBU). Using CCSID 13488, everything above ASCII 255 is unreadable
(which I would kind of expect), but

255 and below display fine.

So I think I'll stick with CCSID 13488 ....

Thank you, Scott! I'll give CCSID 1200 a try.
