Several of us, me included, (primarily US operations) have done a
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QCCSID) VALUE('37')
during the middle of the day and never experienced any ill effect. You

may wish to look at the archives for cautions on doing so. Follow this

thread

You could try a CHGJOB CCSID(37) prior to the CPYSPLF (recommended by

person who expresses caution in another thread).

I think somewhere I read about creating a shell stream file with the
desired ccsid and replacing that versus deleting and recreating it.

We have just upgraded to 7.1 and are playing with the CPYSPLF command
with the *TOSTMF option. I have created *PDF files using this command
and now I have a problem attaching those files to email. Seems that

PDF file created has a CCSID of 65535 that the email program abend on
with a Conversion error. I have tried many different options on the

API to no avail. Is there any way to control the CCSID that the

command uses to create the PDF? Or is there a way for the open API to
read a file with a CCSID of 65535 so it can be attached to an email

be readable to the recipient.

Thanks ahead of time. This is a great place to learn about the i
