All,

I need a little bit of IBM i (OS/400) help that is not related to IBM MQ.

If you saw my blog posting here, you will know that I am having EBCDIC and square bracket issue. I found what I thought was a solution by using the nl_langinfo(CODESET) call as detailed here.

When I run a test program with the call on my system, it returns 37 for the code page/CCSID. When I run the following commands on my system:

DSPSYSVAL SYSVAL(QCCSID)
DSPSYSVAL SYSVAL(QCHRID)

They both return code page/CCSID of 37.

So I gave the test program to the customer. When they run the program it returns 37 for the code page/CCSID. But when the customer run those 2 "DSPSYSVAL SYSVAL" commands, they return 273 for code page/CCSID.

So, my question is to those IBM i experts, what am I doing wrong. Note: The code that I am using was posted in my blog posting. I don't understand why it didn't return 273 for code page/CCSID.

Help please.


Regards,
Roger Lacroix

While the 2 values can be the same, they need not be the same.
Here is the definition: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.1?topic=values-character-identifier-qchrid-system-value

What are you doing with an Austrian / German server?
Could they possibly want to handle numeric data in CCSID 37 i.e. decimal point and not decimal comma etc... but character data in CP 273 (sharp s or sz etc...)?

Hope it helps
