Re: Spreadsheet data to iseries file - character conversion

The problem is that whatever way I try I get stuck with some
character conversion that does not work properly. Last unsuccessful
attempt was copying a CSV version of the spreadsheet to the IFS and
then using tools in the Navigator to get data from there to a
database file where the text field was defined as CCSID 1200
(Unicode). But even that was nowhere near good enough.

Any ideas warmly welcomed


For copying to the IFS, was the CCSID of the text stream file verified to be Unicode? The export to CSV should be Unicode data, and the means to get that file available via the IFS should have the link attribute for the file showing [the data in the file is] Unicode rather than PC ASCII.
