Re: SQL CREATE TABLE with CCSID gets SQL0189

The CCSID you specify must be either EBCDIC-based or Unicode-based. 819 and 1252 are both ASCII-based. All however is not necessarily lost... CCSID 1208 is UTF-8, and UTF-8 is the same as 819 and 1252 so long as you stay within the context of 7-bit ASCII -- that is, no Latin 1 extensions. Just good old a-z, A-Z, 0-9, punctuation, etc.

Subject: SQL CREATE TABLE with CCSID gets SQL0189

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to create a file with a single field with a CCSID of 1252 (or
819). System value QCCSID is 37, my job CCSID is 37 and when I use
interactive SQL:

CREATE TABLE QTEMP/TEST03P
(INPUTDATA CHAR (30) CCSID 1252 NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)

I get error SQL0189: "Coded Character Set Identifier 1252 not valid."

Same thing for CCSID 819. When I specify 37 or 65535 for the CCSID, the
table is created.

I don't see anything in the manual or the second-level text for SQL0189
that explains this (at least not to me).
