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

Actually a newbie question but still..

Is there a way to display UTF-8 (1208) data in a *green screen* emulation?
(displaying Russian, Arabic, Hebrew etc.. at the same time)


Gad

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.
