Re: FTP PF to Windows Server with Chinese Characters

Sorry confused typing wrong.
The ftp command "LTYPE C ccsid" which ccsid should map to pc code ccsid,
AS400 CCSID 937 map to Big5 code ccsid 950.

so your script may be as following:
ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
userid
pass
LTYPE C 950
cd /windowsdirectory
lcd wrklib
put PF_FILE WRKFILE.CSV
quit

Best regards,

Vengoal

Thank you Vengoal for your recent reply.

I checked my PF and it has a longer field than originally indicated (3500
O)
When I do a DSPFFD the CCSID assigned is 937 Traditional Chinese.

Most of the file data is English, but with some Chinese text.

Here's what a line in the file looks like after using the recommended FTP
command:

] O ? O ????? O O O O O O ???? O S
V?V?LkV?]? ?? ]` O ePV?Lk[? ? `? O O O b?Q? O O O ???? O O ??K@
????
@???? O ??K@????
@???? O M???]@????@???? O O ?????????@??@??????@?????m?@??@??@???@?? O ?
O ????K????|???K???K?? ?????? O ???? O M?LkL? O ? O O O O O O

Is there something that needs to be done on the receiving server side to
interpret this CCSID?

Here's the script I used to send the file:
**FTP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx****UserID****Password**
"LType as400dbcs 937"**CD /windowsDirectory****LCD WRKLIB****PUT
PF_FILE WRKFILE.CSV**

Thank you again and hope to hear from you soon.

1. Make sure your flat PF file field length 400 with field type "O"
2. use FTP command LTYPE C as400DBCSccsid before put command, as400 DBCS
ccsid
Simplified Chinese 936, Traditional Chinese (extended range) 937.

Hi All....

I have a PF (flat file, 400A in length, containing comma separated data)

on

the iSeries that I want to FTP over to a WINDOWS FTP Server.
I'm using standard FTP commands and I am **NOT** changing the type to BIN.
The file contains english and chinese characters.

This is a reasonable facsimile of the simple script I'm using....both
servers are within the same firewall.
**FTP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx****UserID****Password****CD
/windowsDirectory****LCD WRKLIB****PUT PF_FILE WRKFILE.CSV**

This creates a .csv file on the target server, where the english

characters

display fine, but the CHINESE does not.

I've only done the following to accommodate DBCS:
* Made sure my PF on the iSeries has field type (in DDS) of 'O'.

Can anyone please tell me how to FTP this file and have both the english
and chinese show up in the target server file?

Thanks!
