The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Yes, IFS supports without problems file names in unicode with international characters.I don't know on what RPG runtime *NATURAL string functions over unicode stuff (i.e. substring) depends on to be honest.
I suspect that the ILE C compilers are not able to compile recent ICU4C even if one wants their own user SRVPGM not coupled with the OS distribution...

How can I tell if 5770SS1-39 "International Components for Unicode" is
still used?
It's really dated. It has several CVE's out against it which IBM has no
intention of resolving. Security Bulletin: IBM i is affected by multiple
vulnerabilities in International Components for Unicode (ICU) option 39
[CVE-2017-14952 CVE-2011-4599 CVE-2017-17484].

I'd like to remove it if it is not used.
