All the locale info CCSID, etc. is set in the user profile.  Currently for 
chars to get downloaded for either edit or conversion correctly the 
file/member CCSID, that of the user profile and the PC must all be set for 
the same language variation.

You can check this by opening the file with CODE/Designer.  I think if it 
can load the file OK then it should convert just fine.  The pound sign in 
the field name is still a bit of a mystery as going by the docs it should 
not be a valid char but I guess it must be working on your system.

Have you talked to your local (country) support people about this?  I 
presume that they would be more familiar at setting this sort of thing up 
and the nuances of UK-English.

Just a question, when the UK goes to the metric system will they start 
using kilograms as the unit of currency instead of pounds? OK, even _I_ 
admit that was a weak joke...

Let me know what you find out.

RE: [WDSCI-L] Problem with conditioned fields






Thanks for the reply Mike. 

Do you know how to set the iseries user locale? I've checked the windows
settings and they're all set to UK. I have also checked the local settings
in the communications console and set the CCSID for each server to 285 
(same
as all of our DDS source files). The conversion still fails.

According to DDS Reference, '£' is not valid for a field name. 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AUI03/1.2.2?SHELF=&DT

=19990811160340&CASE=
The DDS syntax rules for record and field names are: 

Names must be 10 characters or less. 

Names must begin with an alphabetic character (A through Z, @, $, and #). 
All subsequent characters can be alphanumeric (A through Z, 0 through 9, 
@, $, #, and _ (underscore)). There can be no embedded blanks. 

I also tried to create a display file containing the code including '£' in 

customer's email below.  In the 5250 edit mode, an error is shown to 
indicate that '£' is not valid in the field name (Character after first 
character of name not valid). 

If the display file is saved anyway, compiling it will throw the same 
CPD7425 error again.

So I think in the your maybe you were using a different language (CCSID) 
so that '£' was mapped to a valid character for field name, eg, @, $, or # 

?   To convert the display file properly you may need to change the 
iSeries user locale and current locale on PC to use the right language. 

Now, I seem to recall somewhere that the codepoint used for '$' in NA is 
used for '£' in the UK ?  So following the above it could be that the 
iSeries is set to a UK-English locale and the PC set to a US-English 
locale or some such.

RE: [WDSCI-L] Problem with conditioned fields






I have managed to establish that this is a problem with the £ in the
fieldname. I changed the field to WXTOVL and reconverted and it worked 
fine.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue and whether theres a fix for it? 
I
really hope there is as this could potentially put our project on hold as 
we
use £'s for all value fieldnames.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Problem with conditioned fields

I am trying to webface a DDS member containing the following piece of 
code:

A N91        W£TOVL    R        O  5 62EDTCDE(L)

A  91        WCTOVL    R        O  5 62EDTCDE(L)


When I run the application this screen crashes saying that it expected to
receive 17 fields but it actually received 18. In the error message the 
list
of fields only contains WCTOVL. If I comment out W£TOVL and recompile the
DDS the application runs fine. Is this a known bug with the conversion
process? It's a pretty major one if it is. We have code like this all over
our application and I dare say so do a lot of people.
