Hi Alan,



We at Databorough (www.databorough.com) have a product called X-Resize

which

may be of interest to you.



Aside from the task of converting your selected database columns to

Unicode,

there are other important factors to take into consideration:



. Program variables, data structures, arrays etc. used to store
copies of the converted fields will require redefinition

. Certain RPGLE statements will require amendment to incorporate

the

%UCS2 BIF

. DDS for device files will also require alteration to support

the

Unicode-enabled fields



Manually undertaking such tasks can be both error-prone and

time-consuming.

X-Resize provides the means to perform these tasks automatically and,
importantly, in a controlled manner which is isolated from your

production

environment - so you can run and test the conversions safely and as often

as

you wish. X-Resize also provides powerful impact and problem analysis

tools

to assist you in the lifecycle of a conversion project.



If you would like further information, please contact me off-list.



Best wishes,



Richard Thomas



Databorough
