Re: CSVR4 and UTF-8

Ok... I don't pretend to understand this, but...

The file is UTF-8 when downloaded to a PC via the browser and viewed in Notepad++.
On the IBM i, I'm downloading this with a CLP that overrides INPUT from a source member containing the script, then issues the FTP RMTSYS(server ip). The file is assigned CCSID 819. I don't know how to change that.

If I do a CHGATR OBJ(myorder.txt) ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(1208), the file "looks better" when viewed with WRKLNK. The hex (E2 80 99) is still there, but is displayed as a single blank space.

But when I use CSV_open() on that file, I receive CPE3490
Message . . . . : Conversion error.
Cause . . . . . : One or more characters could not be converted from the
source CCSID to the target CCSID.
Technical description . . . . . . . . : Change the input string to only
contain valid characters for the specified source CCSID. If this message is
coming from an application, report the message to the service provider for
your application.

The CVT101 utility isn't working, or I'm not using it correctly.

This has gone way further than I anticipated... We use these addresses to ship an order, then delete them overnight. FWIW, I'm pretty sure the shipping software strips out everything except alphanumeric anyway.

BTW - the web platform is Shopify if anyone cares.
