This is the error message i get on the prepare -
SQL0332: Character conversion between CCSID 65535 and CCSID 1200 not
valid.

I changed the job ccsid in my session thus - CHGJOB CCSID(37) and it works.

fyi We are at V7R3M0 TR7, DSPSYSVAL SYSVAL(QCCSID) reveals 65535.

Any thoughts, suggestions or explanations on why this is happening are
most welcome!



The system is telling you the truth. There's no established conversion
between ISO8859-* and the catchall CCSID of 65535.

There is a conversion between ISO8859-* and and CP-037 "good ol' vanilla US
English EBCDIC".

IBM has been recommending for decades that systems not be left at that
catchall CCSID 65535.
