In the spirit of America's forefathers one could be asking "why not"
instead of why.
In other words, if you had been running at QCCSID = 37 for some time now
is there any reason why you would change to 65535?

IBM i system value QCCSID
The default system value for QCCSID (coded character set identifier) is
65535.
Data tagged with this CCSID is not to be converted by the receiving
system. You might not be able to connect to an unlike system when your
IBM® i application requester (AR) is using this CCSID. Also, you might not
be able to use source files that are tagged with this CCSID to create
applications on unlike system
</snip>

The system actually goes through a long hierarchy doing it's darndest to
avoid using that 65535

So, for the love of God, change the darn thing!
