Re: iConv and DBCS data?

Well, it "appears" it's working for me as well.  View the
PF, see the chinese characters.

Convert it to an IFS file.  View that in the green screen
using WRKLNK.  They look good.

But transfer that file to the PC and they don't show...
just garbage where they trad chinese characters should be.

Brad, it's been a little while, but I got this to work
with PSC/400.  In
fact, I was able to take DBCS literals from display files
and turn them into
constants on JSP pages, as well as convert DBCS database
data on the fly.
It allowed me to serve Japanese DBCS pages from an SBCS
machine!

Very, very cool.

I was wondering if anyone knew if iConv API can handle
converting DBCS data.

For example, if I'm reading data from a  file (EBCDIC)
containing DBCS data (ie Traditional Chinese, etc), and
writing it to a stream file in the IFS and using iConv

to

convert the data, is this the best way, or will it even
work?
