Re: Correct CCSID for IFS File.

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How is your database defined? You indicate that the database value is 3C (I
assume x'3C') but EBCDIC characters are x'40' and above, so it's not
EBCDIC. It's not Unicode or UTF8 as x'003C'/x'3C' is '<'. What is making
you think that x'3C' is a Latin small letter O with circumflex?
