Hi Bill, this is correct 65535 means don't do any conversion. The way it works in VARPG, VARPG will invoke the iSeries data base via DDM and request the data and will tell data base which code page the VARPG client is on , Data base will read the data and apply the necessary data conversions. Since in this case the data base description says not to convert this field, no conversion will be done and you see the data with its EBCDIC values on the PC. 2 things you can do, - 1 fix the data base description - 2 call an RPGIV program from VARPG, let the RPGIV program read the data, put the data into a data structure that you pass as pararmeter. Now since this is passed as a pararmeter, the field info that this is 65535, is lost, so conversion will be done. Hope this helps, my preference would be to fix up the database because it will cause you problems in the future in any web or client server app. Claus Weiss Visual AD tools, email: weiss@ca.ibm.com Dept 522 IBM Canada Lab tie778-3987 Phone(416)448-3987 FAX(416)448-4414 Greetings from Toronto WDT/400 homepage: ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400 WDT/400 newsgroup: news://news.software.websphere.studio400 | VARPG newsgroup: news://news.software.ibm.com/ibm.software.varpg,
