CCSID

My programmer has encountered a problem he?s never seen on our iSeries
before.



He created a new source file (CRTSRCPF) in a new library, then copied an
existing source file into it using WKMBRPDM Option 3.



The original file has a CCSID of 37 and contained in it a £ symbol (that?s a
pound sign). When copied into the new source file it contained a $ symbol
(dollar sign). Investigation revealed that the new file has a CCSID of 285.
The question is ? why?



Our SYSVAL QCCSID is set to 65535 (if it?s relevant). Presumably the new
file picked up the CCSID of the users job?



When I look at the attributes for any interactive job I see:



Language identifier . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : ENG

Country or region identifier . . . . . . . . . . : GB

Coded character set identifier . . . . . . . . . : 65535

Default coded character set identifier . . . . . : 285



Can anyone explain where the 285 comes from, and what might have caused it
to change?



Thanks


Guy
