RE: Unicode

[<SRamanujan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bruce.
Can this be created in DDL also? How will my Create/Alter table look
like?  Can I store char as well as Unicode in these fields?  Can I read
the FIELD in your example into a RPG code?  How do I define the field in
RPG to store them incase I do? Do I need to do anything different while
reading these fields into a Java program or a plain sql? Any limitations
or things I need to be aware of about these declarations?

I am just trying to understand what I can do or not do with these fields
and hence the bombardment of questions.

Regards,
Sudha

Character fields can be defined as being UTF-8 starting with V5R3.  Here
is
some sample DDS for that:

                R RECORD
                  KEYFIELD       5
                  FIELD        100          CCSID(1208 *NORMALIZE)
                K KEYFIELD

When working with UTF8 fields you need to be aware of your job CCSID.
If
65535 your application will read/write using UTF8 encoding directly.  If
not 65535 then database will convert the UTF8 to/from your job CCSID on
read/write operations.

Hi All,
Is there a way to create a Unicode field in the table on iSeries?  I
know a Graphic/VarGraphic with CCSID 1200 is Unicode but can I create
one as Char/Varchar with CCSID to make it Unicode as well?
Thanks,
Sudha
