Your job CCSID is 65535 so when your create the file the system makes a guess as to what CCSID would be most appropriate for the tagging of fields defined as being character.

This "guess" is done be looking at the job language ID. Your job language ID is ENU which, per http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/nls/rbagslngidsdefaultccsids.htm, has an associated CCSID of 37. This means your job default CCSID is 37.

When the file being created contains Open fields CCSID 37 is not appropriate (as CCSID 37 is SBCS). The system then guesses what CCSID is most appropriate for tagging of the Open (EBCDIC Mixed DBCS) field. EBCDIC Mixed DBCS is encoding scheme 1301 and, per http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/nls/rbagsassociatedccsids.htm, the 1301 encoding associated with an EBCDIC SBCS CCSID of 37 is 937.

So you end up with your Open fields being tagged as 937 as you haven't told the system explicitly what to use and so the system is making a "best guess" estimate of what is most likely appropriate.

I hope this helps,

System values:

QCCSID is 65535
QCNTRYID = US
QIGC = 1
QIGCCDEFNT = *NONE
QIGCFNTSIZ = *NONE
QLANGID = ENU
QSETJOBATR = *NONE

When I do WRKJOB and view job definition attributes,

Language identifier = ENU
Country or region identifier = US
CCSID = 65535
Default CCSID = 37

On my user profile, all parms say *SYSVAL
