RE: CodePages and IFS

Jim,

Assuming you have a file share created in iNavigator, right click on it
and select the Text Conversion. I generally use 1252 as the CCSID but
you can chose what ever is appropriate for your site.

Subject: CodePages and IFS

I'm using Scott's routines (Many Thanks, Scott!) to write an XML file to
the IFS and using codepage 819. Now the data is displayable using green
screen via WRKLNK and if I do properties on that STMF it show a CodePage
of 819; but if I use the iSeries navigator and drag it to my desktop it
is gibberish.

I was thinking that would be the other way around, that with CodePage
819 it wouldn't be readable on the iSeries but would on the PC.

I've even tried using CodePage 37 and get the same results.

There is obviously something I'm missing our don't understand (this is
an understatement at this point!)

Thanks,
