Re: New application using remote databases from RPG program

Steve

That sounds like a mess. If they were encoded properly, your program would likely handle things transparently. As it is, you may have to use the iconv function to convert the data as you know it should be.

Ay Ay Ay!!

Good luck!

Which in itself raises another interesting question. All of the fields in all of the files on all systems are described with CCSID(65535). Regardless of whether I use DRDA or DDM, it will be up to /me/ to know how the text fields are encoded in each file on each system, right?

There is one slight complication.

One of the systems is double-byte, so, if using traditional I/O and
overriding the files within the program to DDM files, at a minimum there
would need to be two sets of files defined in the RPG program - one set to
use against the single-byte files, and another to use against the
double-byte files...
