Re: How to define the encoding when using XML GENERATE in COBOL ILE

Have you read the manual? I haven't used this feature but it seems pretty clear that you can control the ccdid via a Process option.

Extract (from V7.4 manual)

If identifier-1 references a data item of category alphanumeric, the generated XML document is encoded with the CCSID specified by the PROCESS statement CCSID option d - XML GENERATE single-byte data CCSID in effect when the source code was compiled. If the CCSID in effect is 65535, the job default CCSID at run time will be used. If identifier-1 references a data item of category national, the generated XML document is encoded in UCS-2. If PROCESS statement CCSID option d specifies a National CCSID, that CCSID is used. Otherwise, the CCSID specified by the NTLCCSID PROCESS option is used. A byte order mark is not generated.
