Re: SQL issue with CCSID 65535

Thanks. I hate to change it like that because if something happens to the
job before it gets to change it back, it now has the wrong CCSID.

Bummer.

The only way to fix this is to have true job CCSID that is not 65535 - that
CCSID means "no conversion".

So you CAN, in your program, do a CHGJOB - maybe with QCMDEXC in the RPG.
Get the current CCSID using a Retrieve Job Info API and restore it after
you've done your thing in the RPG programs.

I am working on an RPGLE program that is using the SQL
QSYS2.PARSE_STATEMENT. My job's CCSID is 65535 which is causing the
below SQL to fail with "Character conversion between CCSID 65535 and
CCSID 1200 not valid." Unfortunately, the error does not tell me
which field it is unhappy with. If I change my job's CCSID from 65535 to

37, it works.

However, I need to find a way to correct this without changing
profiles or the system value. This will be running on other company's
computers and I can't make them change these settings, mainly because
I don't know if it would impact any of their existing software. As
you can see, I have even tried to cast each of the result field to CCSID

37 but that didn't help.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there a workaround?


with data as

( select cast(coalesce(name_type,' ') as char(10) ccsid 37) as
name_type,


cast(coalesce(name,' ') as char(10) ccsid 37) as name,

cast(coalesce(schema,' ') as char(10) ccsid 37) as schema,

cast(coalesce(column_name,' ') as char(10) ccsid 37) as
column_name,

name_start_position

from table(qsys2.parse_statement('select DS1.MONTHNO

from DIVSALES DS1

where DS1.MONTHNO = 1

order by DS1.DIVNO',

'*SYS', '*PERIOD', '*APOSTSQL'))

)

select name,

schema,

column_name,

name_start_position

from data

where name_start_position < (select min(name_start_position)

from data

where name_type = 'TABLE')

order by name_start_position
