Re: CCSID for Dummies - SOLVED

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are on V5R2 you may want to check out the new text file creation
conversion ID parameter on open().  This eliminates the need to open the
file to create, close, and then reopen for conversion.  You can just open
with create and specify the CCSID or codepage for data conversion.

Thanks Tim,

I went through the example you sent and was able to get it corrected.

I was creating the file, writing all my lines, and then closing the
file.  Based on your approach I changed that sequence to create, close,
open, write, close and it worked like a charm.

I think what was happening was that since the file was never re-opened
in ASCII, I was writing all the data lines as EBCDIC instead.  Strange
that IE still recognized it...

Thanks!
