Sorry, I didn't explain well.
I write the character data to CGIDEV2 buffer, then Unicode data to
buffer, then character data etc.

Sean,
you can't concatenate SBCS and DBCS data in one string. It dosn't make
sense since SBCS only has 256 code points in one byte and DBCS has 64K
code points in two bytes and there is no way you can distingues if a
character is made of one or two bytes in a concatenated string.
UTF-8 is in basic a one to four byte character set that in one byte
encoding shares ASC-II 7 bit character set. UTF-8 has reserved bits in
the first byte that tels how many of the following bytes
(0-3) that creates the "character".
When you convert SBCS EBCDIC to UTF-8 you will get a string where each
character in the EBCDIC field will take up one byte if the caracter is
equal to ASC-II 7 bit otherwise a SBCS will take up typical 2 bytes.
When you convert DBCS EBCDIC to UTF-8 you will get a string where each
character in the EBCDIC field will take up one to four bytes in UTF-8.
The tricky thing is that any field in RPG SBCS or DBCS doesn't hold
characters but only holds hexadecimal/binary values that equals the
character that corresspond to the CCSID of the field/ program ...
$ - EBCDIC SBCS CCSID 37 is x'5B'
Å - EBCDIC SBCS CCSID 37 is x'C5'
$ - EBCDIC SBCS CCSID 277 is x'67'
Å - EBCDIC SBCS CCSID 277 is x'5B' (same value as $ in CCSID 37)
$ - EBCDIC DBCS CCSID 1200 is x'0024'
Å - EBCDIC DBCS CCSID 1200 is x'00C5'
$ - UTF-8 is x'24' (one byte - same as in ASC-II) Å - UTF-8 is x'C385'
(two bytes - in ASC-II x'8F')
$Å - EBCDIC SBCS 37 is x'5BC5'
$Å - EBCDIC SBCS 277 is x'675B'
$Å - EBCDIC DBCS 1200 is x'002400C5'
$Å - UTF-8 is x'24C385'
$Å - concatenated from SBCS and DBCS is x'5B00C5' = garbage!
As you can see of the above it is impossible to concatenate different
EBCDIC CCSID's that will give a hexadecimal meaning but you can always
concatenate after converting to UTF-8.

Rather than using iconv, is it not easier to concatenate characterwrote:

I've tried this also but I still didn't get it right. I created IFS
file in CCSID 5035, but rather than change the attribute to 1208, I
copied it to another stmf, CCSID 1208.

What you need to do is the following:
let say you have a EBCDIC SBCS field name 'FieldA' and you have a
EBCDIC DBCS field name FieldB with you chinese characters.
You can then make the following conversions with ICONV into
allocated storage that may be added to the CGIDEV2 output buffer.
FieldA EBCDIC SBCS from 0:1208
FieldB EBCDIC DBCS from 5035:1208
You can then save the buffer into a file with CCSID 65535 or 0 (no
conversion) and make
a change attribute to the IFS file to CCSID 1208.
I have som procedures and a CGIDEV2 version that makes it easier up
and running in beta but it is not fully operational yet.
A proof of concept are here:

what I think you are trying to do is to mix SBCS and DBCS EBCDIC
into one mime message. This can be done but it is tricky and
requires the end result to be in UTF-8 or UTF-8 EBCDIC
If you are interested I will describe how it is done.

Thanks, Sean. PRobably a DBCS issue... I'll see what I can do
on my
Outlook.

Have you tried our MAITLTOOL command? You can get it from
www.bvstools.com/mailtool.html.
Or, better yet, if you want to send me the text you're trying
to email I'll try it from my machine to see if I can play with
the CCSID settings
get it working.Sean.McGovern@xxxxxxxxxxxx

I've tried various ways using combinations of CGIDEV2,
SMTPR4, RPGMail, SNDM. Still haven't got it right.
Is anyone able to provide guidance on how to achieve this
