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

Jon Paris
Eureka, comment out the PROCESS CCSID line and run the program again, the
file is generated correctly in the IFS folder
I view it with WRKLNK and it looks good, the issue is ACS download from
iSeries to PC, where it converts the characters

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.
