Re: More Stream File and DBCS issues...

Hi, Kevin.

I would hope trimr isn't remove any data, but I will plan
on this as the next step (looking at the hex values before
and after the trim and adding the parens and single quote).

For now I'm try it by first writing (, then the pure data
itself (which I know works when writing a plain text file),
then another write for the } ' at the end.

Hi Brad,

The CCSIDs look OK, particularly as you say just sending
the DBCS not
enclosed in the brackets seems to work. 

Is it possible that the %trimr is removing the closing
shiftin byte? Look at
the value of Data in hex both before and after adding the
brackets. 

Also could the DBCS in question contain the apostrophe
character in one of
its bytes? 

Regards,

Kevin Wright.

From is 935, to is 1381.


Works fine when writing to a .txt file, in other words,

the

text as is.

The only difference in this case is I'm writing that

same

text with parens around it and a single quote at the

end of

the string

So:

This is a string <double byte stuff here>

workes fine,  but:

(This is a string <double byte stuff here>) '

Errors out with this error.  I thought maybe because {,

}

or 
' were not invarient characters, but they should be

fine.

Hi Brad,

FWIW text for CPE3490 is Conversion error. One or

more

characters could not
be converted from the source CCSID to the target

CCSID. 


What is the from CCSID? What is the to CCSID? Are

they

both DBCS (or more
probably mixed)?

Kevin Wright.

Even more information.

EVERY time it writes DBCS data it returns 3490..  A

return

code perhaps?  :)

I found more information on this doing a debug.

 It

may

may not relate to my socket CCSID issue I am

having.


On the call to the write() API, I'm writing out

128

bytes.
 The return code after the call is saying it

wrote

3490

bytes.  There are probably 10 DBCS character in

this

data..
the rest is SBCS.  But every write after this,

even

containing SBCS is corrupted.  And the RC for

SBCS

data

write() calls shows the same amount of bytes

written

as I

told it to write.

It's almost like it's totally messing up my

pointer

position as I am using %addr() for the data parm

on

the

write() API.

Any ideas, I'm open ... off to scour the docs

now..

Ok, this one really is weird.

I am converting files to different formats.

 The

data

contains DBCS data and SBCS data.

We got past the point of making a plain text or

.doc

file

working (.doc being basically a plain text with

CRLF

for

the lines).

Now we're doing PDF.  Which technically should

make

zero

difference.

We read the data in (a line of text), then

write it

out

to
a stream file using the write() API.

When it hits the line with the DBCS data in it,

it

just

freaks out and starts writing garbage to the

file.


The ONLY difference in the text we're writing

out

is it

is
enclosed in ( and ) ends with a single quote.

I checked the data right before the Write(),

checked

the

length it was passing in, and everything is

fine!

 It

writes 12 lines before this one just fine, but

once

it

hits
the DBCS data, boom.

Makes no sense to me.  It is PDF data, but it's

really

"just plain text".  And all data after it, even

straigh

SBCS data is also garbage.

The only thing I could find was the hex value

for

the

line
that it starting bombing out on, instead of

writing

the

real data, it was x'FEFE'

The only thing I can think of here is a bug in

the

OS

with
the write() API.

Anyone else seen anything like this, or have

any

ideas?


So:

eval Data = 'This is DBCS Data'

if I write just Data, it is fine, even the DBCS

data.


If I do:

eval Data = '(' + %trimr(Data) + ') '''

It starts writing just garbage.. and not even

the

same

length of string garbage.  :)

Argh  [pulling hair out]

Thanks in advance!
