Re: RPG400-L Digest, Vol 16, Issue 62

It's been a while since I looked at this (and I could be off my rocker),
but here's what I recall

There are two CCSID values for a job, CCSID and default CCSID. If the job
CCSID is set to 65535, then the default CCSID will be set according to the
job language ID (LANGID). For most US shops, that makes it 37. I believe
that 37 would then be used whenever a CCSID is required--as in the IFS.
I've run with my job CCSID at 65535 and files are always opened and
converted correctly.

This leads me to think either the OP has a CCSID or LANGID that is set
wrong or there's another issue at play. Do a DSPJOB command and look at
the 'job definition attributes'--option 2. Page down to about the forth
page on that and see your 'coded character set identifier' values. You can
also put help on these fields and read the text--although that can still
leave you scratching your head.

When I create scripts for SFTP, I do it in either QShell or the PASE shell
(QP2SHELL/QP2TERM) and simply pass in whatever is needed to create the
script correctly. (Of course I'm always doing other processing in the
shell, so it's no big deal to add the code to generate the script there.)

Re: ERROR 3490 (ECONVERT; "Conversion Error") on an IFS open???

Do you mean the lines didn't write correctly?

And/or is it that the CR-LF (carriage return-line feed ) is not writing
correctly?

As mentioned, your job should not be running with 65535 CCSID,, but 37,
IIRC. I had that problem with getting what looked like garbage in my IFS

file.

Great!


Maybe you would help me.


I am using same tool to create a FTP script dynamically, this

will be used from QSHELL command, but I have problem with the carry
return character.

The lines don't written correct so I read the script and all the

lines appear as one FPT command.

Thanks

Found something else:

It seems that on the system where this program is failing, the STMF
we're opening is CCSID 1208.

On another box where it works just fine, the STMF is CCSID 819.

I decoded the MODE parameter, BTW, and it's O_RDONLY + O_TEXTDATA,

with

neither O_CODEPAGE nor O_CCSID.

Could I be onto something?
