Re: CRTPF and job CCSID

It does seem contradictory but the first paragraph is talking about 
FILETYPEs in general, of which there are two -- *DATA and *SRC.  The 
second paragraph then says *DATA can't be used which leaves you with *SRC. 
 And if you play with CRTPF and FILETYPE(*SRC) you will find that CCSID is 
used (and CPD7306. CPD7307 being sent in many other cases).

The text could be improved on...

Re: CRTPF and job CCSID






Is it just me, but does the second paragraph of the help for ccsid seem to 

conflict with the first paragraph?

This parameter is applicable only if no value is specified for the 
Source file (SRCFILE) parameter and if a value is specified for the 
Record length (RCDLEN) parameter.  If you specify a value other than
the default value (*JOB) on this parameter, the SRCFILE parameter is
not used, and a value must be specified for the RCDLEN parameter. 
 
    Note:  A file created with no DDS when FILETYPE(*DATA) is 
    specified has a CCSID of 65535, regardless of the job CCSID 
    value.
