Not sure, and I don't have the time to test right now. But it would seem to
me that even if it didn't CHAIN the way you wanted it to, you could still do
a SETLL/READ and then a %XLATE comparison. Not the best, but it would work.

Well, %XLATE isn't CCSID aware ... so we would have to call an API (a
wrapped version of iconv, in our case) to do the conversion.

At this point I think we're going to just go with a duplicated field.

Because all access to this file is gated through a service program, if
we need to change the implementation at at later date, it won't be hard.
