Re: Funky character translation

If you do not want conversion to take place, then CHGJOB CCSID(65535) to
suppress conversion.
Otherwise keep in mind that workstation you are looking at the file from
should be in the same CCSID as the file - then you should have consistent
results.

Subject:  Funky character translation





OK, this ones got us stumped so I'll see if any of the experts here can
help



File1  has CCSID 37 and Language ID of ENU        V3R2
  There are fields (BTW these are source physical files) that have the
British pound sign (you know the funky "L" looking character.

File 2 has ccsid 280 and Language ID of ITA           V3R1
  There are fields (again a src file) that have the # symbol (instead of
the
British pound)


I need to copy a member from File2 to File1

When I do the # gets changed to the British pound (ARRRGHHH!!!) which I
don't want to happen
If I manually key the # over the british pound, it takes.


I then created a new file on my system CCSID 37 and Language ID of ENU V4R1
When I copy a member from File1 to this new file it stays as the British #.

Any ideas, thoughts????

(Don't even ask why, it's a long convoluted story (Y2K related)....
