Re: DB2 UTF-8 fields used in RPGLE -- RPG400-L

UTF-8 fields are defined to database as character so, if your job CCSID is
NOT 65535, then the UTF-8 data is converted by database (rather than RPGLE)
to the job CCSID. If your job CCSID is 65535 then you should get the raw
UTF-8 encoding (1208). This conversion to the job CCSID is why I personally
prefer to use a graphic definition (1200, 13488) for Unicode data. Then any
conversion to EBCDIC (or other encodings) is entirely under my control.

Has anybody tried that - it seems to me that UTF-8 fields are converted
to SBCS EBCDIC in RPGLE
