CCSID switched from 65535 to 37

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

In V5R3 IBM has more fully integrated CCSID into various other parts of the
system.  Especially items like CPYTOIMPF and that genre.  In order to avoid
changing numerous programs I have changed the system value QCCSID from
65535 to 37.  Turns out we've been running this way for quite some time on
our development machine so the test is 'done'.

This might even help people downloading data and stuff.  They might not
have to remember to turn on that flag that says to convert CCSID 65535.

Now, some existing data files will still have that issue, unless they are
recreated.

Any Queries that are modified will pop up a message "The CCSID will be
changed from 65535 to 37."  I am sure that our users will
understand.  Don't you?  NOT!  But hopefully the message will only appear
for Queries that output to a disk file.  And that, generally falls more
under the systems realm.

Department, in case you are wondering why you were bcc'd it is because I
thought I'd share this with the fine folks at midrange-l also.
