You may recall, for quite some time I have been struggling with a
problem where a dollar sign was being translated into a cents sign when
I was processing Domino ACL's with a java program running on the iSeries.
This problem only manifested at a customers site and I was totally
unable to reproduce it.
I investigated using different CCSID's, different code pages, even tried
doing a manual character translation in my java program. Nothing worked
adequately.
Well, I finally solved the problem ... and it had *NOTHING* to do with
my program or even the iSeries!
The system in question was running in the UK, but it had a US codepage
(37) ... the 5250 emmulator that the customer was using (CA/400),
however, was set to use the UK code page (285).
So the end result was, the customer thought they were entering a dollar
sign into the 5250 emmulator, the iSeries was actually receiving a cents
sign!
When I reconfigured my PC to use the UK codepage, I was able to
reproduce the problem exactly.
Obviously, the solution to this problem is to reconfigure the 5250
emmulator in question to use the proper codepage for the system it is
connecting to.
This problem had been driving me crazy for more than a year ... and it's
finally put to bed!
