Re: View to create a PF?

  On a command-line, type the following request exactly as it appears 
below, and then press Enter:

    CHGPRF ??CCSID()

  What the CCSID for the signed-on user should appear where the cursor 
is positioned.  Based on the symptoms, I expect the value will be one of 
*HEX, 65535, or *SYSVAL; if the latter, then the system value QCCSID is 
presumably 65535 [or *HEX].  The CCSID for a user profile is also 
available from the DSPUSRPRF via any of the specified OUTPUT; for the 
outfile, the field is UPCCSI.  The CCSID has been a part of the *USRPRF 
user profile object at least since some V2 release of AS/400, though 
possibly even before.
