Re: special characters issue in xml

A more recent version of the table, which also lists the newer CCSIDs that
include the Euro sign, is here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/nls/rbagsccsidcdepgscharsets.htm

Funny though that CCSID 5348 is missing from the list. These days (in V5R2,
that is), when you open a stream file (using the open() API) with code page
1252, the file gets CCSID 5348. As far as I can tell, 5348 is 1252 + Euro
sign (like 1148 is 500 + Euro sign). We had some problems with CPYTOSTMF and
CPYTOIMPF with CCSID 5348: they reported that CCSID conversion could not be
performed. I just tested again (we had some PTFs installed this weekend) and
now CPYTOSTMF gives no errors; CPYTOIMPF gave the same error and reported
that no records were copied, but the stream file contains the correct data.

Um, have to throw in some RPG, I think. Right, I did the open() from RPG. Is
that enough, David?
