Re: UCS2 TO code page 037



How can I convert UCS2 to code page 037 and then from code page 037 to UCS2?
Any examples?


UCS2 is CCSID 13488 (more or less) on the iSeries.  So you can do this:

     D input1          s             50A
     D output1         s             50C   CCSID(13488)

     D input2          s             50C   CCSID(13488)
     D output2         s             50A
      /free

        // from the job CCSID to UCS2

        Input1 = 'Nows the time for all good men';
        Output1 = %ucs2(Input1);

        // from UCS2 to the Job CCSID

        input2 = %ucs2('I love my dog spot');
        output2 = %char(input2);

        *inlr = *on;

      /end-free
Change it to CCSID(1200) if you want UTF-16 (which is a superset of 13488, I think.)
