Re: Greek CCSID 875 to PCASCII

I saw something like this around 2007. Another person had been assigned
the original task. Maybe his method was not the best, but it worked.
First, he created an empty file with a space and a CRLF. Then he used the
chgattr function to chage the CCSID to the one needed. Then, he did the
CPYTOSTMF command with replace. He sad it didn't work properly any other
way that he tried. The key appeared to be changing the file attribute, but
could only be done after the stream file was created. We never explored
other methods as that worked and others were wantin data "yesterday".

I hope this is of some help. That system was V5R4, a long time behind on
PTFs. Might not be relevant with current version of the operating system.

I do not have time to give you any solutions right now, but I can tell
you that CCSID 1252 is most definitely not UTF-8 BOM. 1252 is named
after Windows-1252, though the CCSID info page calls it "MS-WIN
LATIN-1", which is misleading and sloppy. Latin-1 is close to but
different than Windows-1252. I don't know which one CCSID 1252 really
represents. In any case, it's not UTF-8, with or without BOM.
