Re: [SPAM] RE: MSSQL access iSeries data (not ifs)

Since this customer's files are decades old, I am certain all tables are at IBM's original 65535. It's no small deal to reset all files in an enterprise application, retesting every CA download, upload, communication process, cpyfrm.../cpyto..., other products, etc. Has everyone else but me 
cleared this hurdle?

Jim,

Sounds as if the DB tables are (incorrectly) coded with CCSID of 65535.

The "correct" answer is to change the CCSID of the table to the right
one.

The workaround is to have the ODBC/.NET driver force translation of
CCSID 65535.

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.
