RE: IFS stream file CCSID problem

You're probably thinking about O_TEXTDATA parameter.
Here is more info on "open()" function:

Pay attention to O_CCSID parm.

I vaguely recall a parameter on the open call that specifies if it's a text 
file or not. If not, I'm pretty sure it's just considered binary, and no 
character translation takes place. It's been a while, but when last I 
tried, setting the CCSID on an NT share didn't do anything. It's just 
iso-8859-1, or whatever the Windows blinking code page is on Windows.
