I'm developing a tool that works with text descriptions for members,
calling QUSRMBRD. One thing I noticed is sometimes, the descriptions
have a CCSID of 65535. For system objects, this tends to be when the
description is empty. However, some user-made members have the 65535
CCSID instead of a typical EBCDIC one. I notice these tend to be old
files too. Might it be the possible description CCSID is new and any
files from i.e. 36/38 era just get tagged 65535?
As for why I do care about 65535 is while it means no conversion, it
needs to be converted to UTF-8 for my purposes. I'm assuming it will
probably be safe to just assume job CCSID; binary data isn't likely.
