You are right Gad;

My guess is that the team behind ACS (5250) will have some work to do :)
And for BosaNova users - perhaps it will not be the best solution, and have
to work as usual. There you still have the UNICODE option.

We also need to do quite a lot with our IceCap product - but that will
definitely be implemented.

Just wondering,

How existing non-browser emulation packages will be affected?

Therefore I have posted an RFE to IBM to please implement UTF-EBCDIC as
an
alternative CCSID. UTF-EBCDIC is basically UTF-8 but where UTF-8 has
ASCII
as the base charset, then UTF-EBCDIC will have EBCDIC. This means the
national chars like ?????? wil occupy two bytes each and abcABC will
occupy
one byte each. Perhaps we need to extend some columns, but that is a much
simpler task than converting the entire system to UNICODE.

This will let the database and programs run unchanged and give the client
the option to set this CCSID at system level. Open source and spring
boot (
Java microservices) will convert from UTF-EBCDIC to UNICODE and/or UTF-8
on
the fly. This will let the transformation process focus on applications
and
not CCSID and eventually bring the IBM i platform in position in the
global
infrastructure while dealing with legacy application.

So please, gentlemen, please go and vote for this RFE so we can end this
discussion once and for all.
