You need to change your system to use the correct CCSID. That should be 37 for you. Using 65535 is a really bad idea.

I agree with both of these statements!

That said, some people find system-wide changes to be scary. It might
lessen the scary if you change the job description being used by your
web service / RPG job. Have it use a user profile that uses CCSID(37)
which is US English.
