Re: Importing UTF-8 multibytes file

Hello Maria,

Am 04.02.2022 um 11:14 schrieb Maria Lucia Stoppa <mlstoppa@xxxxxxxxx>:

For a new customer of mine, I need to import into IBM i running V7R3 a
UTF-8 multibyte file. So, the UTF-8 multibyte file is on IFS and has CCSID
set to 1208, whereas the DB2 flat file is set to CCSID = 655535.

I assume you have a typo and are mentioning 65535?

I don't know what the correct multibyte CCSID (EBCDIC) for your local language is. But the QCCSID system value must be set accordingly, and your database table must be set to this value, also. With that in place, CPYFRMIMPF should do fine.

Should I really be obliged to read the UTF-8 file from the IFS byte per byte and make a conversion, sort of?

I'd say: No.

:wq! PoC
