Re: Conversion issue on degree symbol

I tried changing from O_CODEPAGE to O_CCSID and using 1208 and got a
conversion error.

Are we in agreement that this is a bug? Or is there something else I
could be doing wrong? I don't want to have the customer call IBM
unless it's necessary (of course... lol).

The funny thing is a few years ago I changed this application from
using iconv and/or tables (the user could specify the table to use for
conversion) and it worked fine.  Now this one stinkin character is
runing my day.  :)

Brad, have you tried using the iconv API to see what you get?  If it
doesn't create the DBCS data, then I would suggest a PMR.  Also, you
could as a workaround use the iconv to convert the data yourself and
write it to the stream file with no conversion.

Does IBM publish any tables showing what code pages result in what
conversions?  I see no reason for this to convert a SBCS character to
a DBCS character especially using with each of the code pages I've
tried.

CCSID of the file is 65535.

CCSID of the job is 37.  QCHRID of the system is 37.   Tried 819, 1252
for the CCSID of the stream file.


I was afraid it was DBCS.. not sure why is the translation shows it
should go to SBCS in ASCII

Thanks

Hi Bradley,

That looks like some sort of EBCDIC double byte sequence, x'0e'
being shift out (of single byte) then a single double byte character
x'e0d2' then shift in (to single byte) x'0f'.

What is the CCSID of the PF (&  field if applicable) ?

What is the job CCSID? Job default CCSID?

What is the CCSID of the stream file?

Regards,

Kevin Wright
