Re: Correct CCSID for IFS File.

Hi Michael

Try to use this:

if unlink(ifsPathName) < 0;
// handle error here
endif;

fd = open(ifsPathName
: O_TEXT_CREAT+O_WRONLY+O_CCSID+O_CREAT+O_TEXTDATA
: S_IWUSR+S_IRUSR+S_IRGRP+S_IROTH
: 1252
: 0);
if fd < 0;
// handle error here
endif;

This will create a file tagged with CCSID 1252 (MS Windows, Latin-1). Please note, that the CCSID for this code page with euro is 5348. Details here: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid1252.html

If you convert an existing file, please check the CCSID of the file (dspfd, dspffd) and the CCSID of your job (dspjob option(*dfna)).

Best regards

I don't intend to accidentally mislead. The above is a copy & paste
from Scott Klement's web page I referenced earlier. My assumption is
that Scott got "mode:" where he wanted it. However I am not expert in
any way and can not make the case for or against. I am only reporting.

Quick question though...

I've seen twice now before the CCSID there's this parm that you are passing
called mode What is this value?
