Re: Unicode, %status and *STATUS

Thank you Barbara. This keyword escaped my attention until now.

Slight disadvantage:
Without this keyword I get a partial conversion with substitution
characters thrown in; with this keyword I get no conversion at all.

Still, it allows me to signal the user that they shouldn't use 5250 no
more ('Did you try the browser alternative?' IBM showed us the way :-)

Re: Unicode, %status and *STATUS

If you add keyword CCSIDCVT(*EXCP) to your H spec, the status code when
a conversion results in substitution will be exception-status 452 rather

than non-exception status 50.

It might be easier to use MONITOR to deal with an exception rather than
checking for status 50.
