Subject: Re: Trying to display japanese characters from an IFS file
Date: Thu, Dec 15, 2016 1:04 PM
I tried it with session ccsid 37
chgjob ccsid(930)
now when i type command I get command not found not sure why ...
> chgjob ccsid(930)
> wrklnk
Command wrklnk in library *LIBL not found.
Error found on wrklnk command.
That's because CCSID 930 does not have the lower case a-z in the same
locations as other code pages. When you type 'wrklnk' in to your 5250
emulator, it gets converted to whatever encoding you've set for the
keyboard/connection and the bytes get sent across and interpreted in 930
as something completely different. Of course, you still see it as 'wrklnk'
because your terminal is set that way.

"EBCDIC code page 290 (for Japanese support) has Katakana characters at
the code points where lowercase a through z are in the invariant character
set" (CCSID 930 is a Mixed EBCDIC CCSID that uses 290 as the SBCS code
page)
What you typed as 'wrklnk', the system saw as ******************. You can
either change your keyboard to a Japanese keyboard or type everything
uppercase (since the A-Z are in the same location across all code pages).
