RE: File Attached cwbtfr.ini (fwd)

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah - but if you're files are created on the 400 with the correct CCSID
(for most of us in North America that would probably be 037), instead of
65535 (which means 'Do NOT translate') there would be no problem.

The new CA/400 file transfer that pays attention to these CCSID tags IS
actually a step forward as it's supposed to handle translation between
different character sets.

I believe the actual source of the problem goes gack to V3R1, or
sometime in V2 (I'm sure Al Barsa will recall  :-)   ) when the CCSID
tag was introduced, and the release update to that new release didn't go
through a correct conversion and retag your current files based on your
QCHRID or QLANGID.  Even today on V4 a lot of systems that started off
years ago and have been through multiple release conversions still have
QCCSID set to 65535.
