RE: Outfile from DSPJRN has Multiple CCSIDs on V5R3

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Kirk:

AFAIK, the DSPJRN outfiles have been this way for... well, a long time. The 
oldest I can test right now is V4R5, but that's the way the outfiles are there. 
And I wouldn't expect them to be anything else considering what those fields 
represent.

The JOESD field can conceivably contain any combination of CCSIDs. Without 
knowledge of what each positon contains, converting the data as character data 
could cause "unpredictable results". What if a portion contained a binary field 
for example? CCSID conversion would be meaningless.

In short, journal outfiles will need to be massaged before attempting to send 
them to another platform such as a PC.
