Download "Runtime library functions" PDF and look through fopen description,
especially the "|" marks on the left as they indicate new things.

There are some parameters on the open related to CCSIDs.

Subject: [C400-L] "Conversion Error" from fopen()?

Hello,

        I have some simple code that opens a file on the IFS for
reading. This was working, but then I started getting NULL from the
fopen() call. When I check errno it is set to ECONVERT or "Conversion
Error." Why in the world would I get a conversion error just opening the
file?

        I know the question is a bit vague, but it really doesn't make
sense... it is just a regular old fopen() call on a text file.

fp = fopen(fname,"r");

        Anyone see this behavior before?
