  • Subject: CCSID, codepage, or some such thing on an IFS file, perhaps?
  • From: rob@xxxxxxxxx
  • Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 14:34:04 -0500


I grabbed onto some code used previously in the SNDEMAIL utility to read an
IFS file for me.  What I am trying to do is to read the IFS file which
contains a list of Domino servers and create a list user space out of it.

First of all when I use DSPF to look at the file
/QIBM/UserData/LOTUS/LOTUS_SERVERS, I see:
 ************Beginning of data**************

...
When ran in debug I am getting:

ST_CODEPAGE = 1200
What the hex?
1)  It looks like a null is added before every character.
2)  It looks like most of the hex values are off.  For example, in the
above S is claimed to be hex 53, E hex 45, R hex 52 and so on.
