Mark, We and some of our customers have seen some problems with using 65535 when we started getting more into java applications and database connectivity, which tend to do a lot with unicode and other character conversions to/from. The IBM response has been "You should not be using 65535". My response to that is "It was your default". In any case, if you are starting from scratch, I recommend something like 037 (assuming you want US English). It will be much scarier to change the CCSID sometime down the road when you have been using 65535 for years and have a bunch of applications working great and you don't want to risk breaking them. My two cents. -Marty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 09:36:18 -0500 from: "M. Lazarus" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx> subject: New system CCSID recommendation I am setting up a new AS/400 in North America (no international users to worry about.) The SysVal CCSID is the "no conversion" one. What would you recommend to use? Should it be left as is? Or change it to 37? 437? TIA. -mark
