That will work. I'm not sure if the change has to be made before the JVM gets initialized, or before the point you call systools.httpxxxx. You could do it before you call the program. You can do it like you have and do it in the initialization process. Either should work. I just know about the issue because when we moved a package to a clients system it failed. In our case we changed QCCSID to 37 and made sure the user profiles all had *SYSVAL. Had them signoff and back on, and everything just worked. Personally I'm a big fan of not having QCCSID or user CCSID values set to 65535. If you don't have to deal with multiple CCSID's, just change it to a sane value.

@Kevin, I was getting an error when using Systools.HttpPostClob that turned
out to be ccsid=65535 related. In my program, in the Initialization
procedure, I coded
// Change the CCSID to 37 as some/most users have 65535 which causes the
program to abend
Exec sql
SELECT character_code_set_id
INTO :userCcsid
FROM QSYS2.USER_INFO
WHERE authorization_name = :psds.User;
Monitor;
cmdString = 'CHGJOB CCSID(37)';
Qcmdexc(cmdstring :%Len(cmdString));
On-error;
Endmon;
And then at the end of the program I added.
// Change the CCSID back to what it was
If userCcsid = '65535' or userCcsid = 'QCCSID';
Monitor;
cmdString = 'CHGJOB CCSID(*SYSVAL)';
Qcmdexc(cmdstring :%Len(cmdString));
On-error;
Endmon;
Endif;
This got rid of the error and the call to Systools.HttpPostClob completes
successfully. I'm wondering if I'm overlooking something as I understood
from your post that the chgjob had to be in the calling program.
Thanks,
Rob

It's not something you change in the program, it has to be at the job
level. Do a chgjob ccsid(37) - or whatever ccsid you want to use - before
you run the program.

If your system is running 65535 you should probably look at the pros and
cons of changing it. Bruce Vining has a nice write up on it at the IBM
website.

I am looking at the program and am not sure where to put it. I have dried
a few places but did not work. Any ideas on where to put it?
I assume it is on this statement
exec sql select * into :latitude, :longitude
from json_table(systools.httpgetclob(:URL, ''),
'lax $.result.addressMatches[*]'
columns(
Latitude varchar(15) path '$.coordinates.y',
Longitude varchar(15) path '$.coordinates.x')
empty on error);
I have done it on sql scripts before. Usually in the select area like
this.
SELECT ENTRY_TIMESTAMP,
JOB_NUMBER CONCAT '/' CONCAT RTRIM(JOB_USER) CONCAT '/' CONCAT
RTRIM(JOB_NAME) AS JOB_NAME,
REMOTE_ADDRESS,
rtrim(cast(cast(substring(entry_data,2,10) as VARCHAR(10) for bit
data) as varchar(10) ccsid 37)) as User_Name
FROM TABLE(qsys2.display_journal(
'QSYS', 'QAUDJRN', -- Journal library and name
STARTING_RECEIVER_NAME => '*CURAVLCHN',
journal_entry_types => 'PW', -- Journal entry types
starting_timestamp => CURRENT TIMESTAMP - 48 HOURS)) -- Time
period

Subject: Re: challenging tasks? Got one to discuss?
If your CCSID is 65535 then yes, that would cause it to error out.

Booth, I have found some of your stuff interesting.
I just looked at this and thought, I need to try it.
I copied the two SQLRPGLE programs and the DSPF to my system. They
compiled without issue. I think that is a first.
I get these results.
Location Response
Street 2800 37th St NW Trial 1 failed: SQL code -332
City Rochester Trial 2 failed: SQL code -332
State MN Trial 3 failed: SQL code -332

I looked up -332 and it said "Character conversion is not defined." I am
not sure what conversion it is refering to.
Do I need to set up my CCID or something?
