RE: MSSQL access iSeries data (not ifs)

Just a quick correction....
 "default 65535 CCSID"

IIRC, 65535 used to be the default, but new machines now default to a
correct CCSID based upon the primary language.

HTH,

Sounds like a CCSID issue.  The data was probably stored in 
the default 
65535 CCSID.  I've just given you one hell of a clue.  If you 
search IBM 
for ODBC and 65535 you'll get hits like adding a connection 
string keyword 
like
TRANSLATE or 
ForceTranslation Specifies whether or not to convert binary 
data (CCSID 
65535) to text.  Setting this property to 1 makes binary 
fields look like 
character fields. 0 = Do not convert binary data to text 
1 = Convert binary data to text

MSSQL access iSeries data (not ifs)






I need to point a MS developer in the right direction. 
He is using sql to pull data from iSeries qsys.lib/.... and 
claims the data is encrypted. I assume he is looking
at ebcdic, not ascii. Is there something he can do 
in his selections to get the ebcdic to ascii?
This is a big data analysis project and will involve 
many selects, many tables. There is a possibility
Oracle is in this mix as well.
