It was the default for all AS/400's originally...

If you followed the system install guide, one of the first steps was to set
QCCSID properly.

Now IBM ships QCCSID set according to the primary language installed.

But for those who have migrated through the ages...

In another thread on the RPG list the job CCSID of 65535 came up. Niels
called it the "no translation" CCSID.

It made me think of a question I've been wondering about for a while. Why
is this CCSID used? I've never seen it do anything but cause translation
errors when working with stream files or sockets.

Should this CCSID be treated differently than others when working with
translations? Or would it make sense to have the user set their job's
CCSID to something more "meaningful"?

I see it used more and more... what is the purpose of this, and why does it
seem to almost be a default on some systems (mostly non US from what I
see).
