RE: POP server direct access

Hi Carsten,

In the mean while I looked at the SMTP jobs in QSYSWRK and noticed that two
out of four are running with 37, the other two with 500 (while on the
production V4R4 box, they all have 500).  So far I don't have an idea why
this is the case, but changing those two jobs resulted in the mail server
creating the files with CCSID 500 as well, and this goes fine (I still need
the QDCXLATE however).

When using CHGATR (which won't be a solution as production is still on V4R4)
as you suggested, and converting to 850, the C function does the implicit
conversion correct as well.

Some solutions... but some things to find out as well...

Kind regards,
Paul

Hello Paul,

If you change the CCSID tag to the correct ascii CCSID prior to opening the
file (using CHGATR on V5R1 or the Qp0lSetAttr API) - how does the implicit
conversion then work?

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
