Re: SQL: SELECT from flat-file returns data in hex...

It is an attribute of the connection. A "Force translation" checkbox or something like that. However if you know the CCSID of the data, you could request instead of SUBSTR(F00001, 11, 10) to get the untagged data, request the tagged data with CAST(SUBSTR(F00001, 11, 10) AS CHAR(10) CCSID 37)

In Run SQL Scripts of iNav, when I execute a SELECT against a
"flat-file", the data is returned in hex instead of character format.

Some time ago there was a mention in a thread of a command that could
be issued that would solve this problem for any subsequent queries
against files of that nature. I remember trying it and it worked
great, but for the life of me I can't remember what the command was.
I've tried CL:CHGJOB CCSID(37); but that doesn't do it.

Please remind me what that command was. TIA
