Bobby,

65535 basically means "I don't know what the data is" or arguably "that data isn't text."    The notion of converting it to another text encoding when you don't know what it currently is doesn't make a lot of sense.

I would suggest assigning a proper CCSID to the input field instead of 65535.

Hi All,

There is a vendor file that has a field with CCSID 65535 assigned.  Can SQL convert that field to CCSID 1208?  I am asking about SQL because the person who will be working with the file prefers SQL.

When we try to CAST it to 1208 we get '[SQL0332] Character conversion between CCSID 65535 and CCSID 1208 not valid.'

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Bobby
