Re: setting CCSID of QZDASONIT jobs

[Eric Lee <Eric.Lee@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joe Sam,

This sounds viable.

You mean use AS400JDBCConnection.getServerJobIdentifier() to retrieve the 
job number after creating the connection
and construct a statement like 

CALL QSYS.QCMDEXC(CHGJOB JOB(NUMBER/USER/NAME) CCSID(65536)

and run this as a statement.execute() before performing any 
updates-inserts.

Thanks.. I will give it a go.

Best regards,

Re: setting CCSID of QZDASONIT jobs







    Hi Eric,

    Here's a possibility that should work.  Because of all the possible
non-standard variations, a conforming JDBC driver will allow *any* string 
to
be sent to the DBMS.  If the DBMS/OS understands how to interpret it, the
statement will be run.  In "Getting Started with the JDBC API", here's 
what
"SQL Conformance" at:

<
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/intro.html#1018592
>

says:

" One way the JDBC API deals with this problem is to allow any query 
string
to be passed through to an underlying DBMS driver... In fact, an 
application
query may be something other than SQL..."

    So, you should be able to pass a  CALL QSYS.QCMDEXC statement for
CHGJOB, using Statement.executeUpdate() or Statement.execute().  See

<
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/0/f1eaeecc0af19cc38625669100569213?OpenDocument

>

for an example with OVRDBF.
