Charles -

JDE World software can only handle one CCSID per environment - it does not store the CCSID for a given record in the record itself. The system can be customized to create the files with the CCSID particular to the country language, but what I have seen mostly are CCSID(37) in the US and CCSID(500) in western Europe.

Only one language/CCSID can be used in a given environment, but the CCSID's used typically provide the basic English/Latin alphabetic characters.

Files which can contain double-byte data are (DDS-created) with CCSID(65535) at the field level and have Open fields defined for any double-byte data such as names, descriptions, and addresses.

The 5250 sessions for a given environment are setup with the host code page which corresponds to the CCSID of the language in use, so the jobs are using the correct CCSID to present the data on screens.

Regards,
Steve

In other words, are you telling me I can't, under any circumstances,
load these data into a DB2 65535-CCSID file?

the DB and it's various functions would be of no help.
Back before Unicode, applications like JD Edwards would store text
in a CCSID 65535 field along with the CCSID for that particular record...
Now, creating the table with UTF-8/UTF-16 columns is a much better way to handle it.
