RE: Attempting to write to IFS andmissing turkish characters -- RPG400-L

Is that correct ? I know if you create a file manually in the IFS, it will use your job attributes to determine the code page, which can be different if it is done during a batch job. I had to specify the code page I wanted (437) in the CPYTOIMPF command.

Code page of the file in the IFS is 1026

Check the code page of the file on the IFS

Subject: Attempting to write to IFS andmissing turkish characters

I am attempting to write/create a txt file directly into the IFS the file contains Turkish characters

I have a copy of Scotts great and very helpful IFS eBook (Thank you very much Scott)

This file contains turkish characters such as ÜŞ

It appears using code 1026 these characters are Hex 7F and Hex 7C

For my test I did the following:

1) Modified Scotts program CH5ASCII that creates and writes some simple text to a text file

2) Changed the code that creates a new file to specify code page 1026 rather than 819

3) Output some text including a Hex 7F7C

Runs fine, but when the file is opened from the 400 (EDTF) I see a “@ I was expecting to see ÜŞ

When I open it with Notepad I see jibberish Ä…™@Ã–¤¢‰•k%%É@“–¥…@£ˆ…@¦

Obviously there is something I am missing

Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

John
