David,
Use a java.io.InputStreamReader over the IFSFileInputStream, specifying
the US EBCDIC charset. In fact, the charset identifier is probably in
the IFSFileInputStream file information.

Subject: Brain cramp: reading an IFS file from program running on PC
Folks:
I'm having a brain cramp ... what's wrong with this code?
I'm trying to load a properties file from the IFS to determine what, if
any, default java version a user has. The code is running on a PC.
----------
User user = new User(as400, as400.getUserId());
user.loadUserInformation();
String homedir = user.getHomeDirectory();
String propertiesFile = homedir + IFSFile.separatorChar +
"SystemDefault.properties";
IFSFile file = new IFSFile(as400, propertiesFile); int ccsid =
file.getCCSID();
Properties defaults = new Properties();
IFSFileInputStream is = new IFSFileInputStream(file);
defaults.load(is);
is.close();
String javaVersion = defaults.getProperty("java.version");
----------
The bytes I'm getting in the properties are correct ... but they are the
ebcdic values, not unicode.
The IFS file has a CCSID of 37.
Thanks!
david
