Re: DBCS and the IFS

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

If you have Chinese characters that you are attempting to convert then 937 
is the better way to go.  1175 is a proper subset of the characters found 
in CCSID 37 (CHRID 697 37) and contains no Traditional Chinese characters. 
 937 contains the 1175 character set plus the DBCS 935 character set.  You 
will also want to convert to a CCSID other than 819 as that's just ISO 
Latin 1 (again no Traditional Chinese).

Thanks Bruce.

It shows the CCSID to use for ASCII (if I'm reading it
right) is 819, but there seems to be some traditional
chinese characters that don't get converted properly from
EBCDIC to ASCII.
