Re: Writing to IFS with Node.. Code page...

[Henrik Rützou <hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CSSID 819 is  ISO 8859-1 ASCII and node/javascript engines runs UTF-16
internally (seldom UCS-2) and store files as UTF-8 as default so the
correct CSSID would be 1208 but since CSSID is IBM i only the files becomes
the directory's CCSID.

Anyway - here are a list of encoding supported by fs property "encoding"
but be aware that it dosn't use the ifs files CCSID like native does.


   - ascii
   - base64
   - binary
   - hex
   - ucs2/ucs-2/utf16le/utf-16le
   - utf8/utf-8
   - latin1 (ISO8859-1, *only in node 6.4.0+*)
