Re: XML Translation Problem

Henrik,

You don't seem to understand what Barbara showed you. How could stream files and database tables "support &#8805 conversion"? However, stream files and database tables can store Unicode characters, e.g. by using CCSID 13488.

What Barbara showed you is that XML-INTO can convert an HTML entity into the corresponding Unicode character, which can be stored in a Unicode column. No impact on the length of the statement whatsoever.

And why do you think UCS-2 will have to be converted to SBCS? Why do you think Unicode was developed?

Barbara,

and on one point you will probably have to convert the USC-2 to SBCS and
then
you have the problem again.

In practise you don't want to loose e.g. a EURO sign if EBCDIC dosn't
support it
so

The price is 100,00 €

to The price is 100,00

you want

The price is 100,00 EUR

or if you meet &#8805 (greater than or equal) you want two
EBCDIC char

Ha ha Barbara,

I meant IBM i IFS files and/or DB dosn't support &#8805 conversion; and by
the way
if all millions of possible Unicode characters greater than ascII x'F0'
are HTML encoded
your statement will be very very long ;-)

IBMI dosn't support UTF-8 encoding in HTML encoding like&#8805;

I think it does:

Here is my RPG program:

D val s 10c
/free
xml-into val %xml('<val>&#8805;</val>' : 'ccsid=ucs2');
*inlr = '1';

Here is my debug session:

EVAL val:x
00000 22650020 00200020 00200020 00200020

U'2265' is the Unicode greater-than-or-equal character.
