As *PGMs are made up of *MODULEs, and each *MODULE could be created in a
different environment, the CCSID you are really in search of is the CCSID
of the *MODULE containing the literal string. In the case of ILE RPG I
believe this is the CCSID of your primary input source file (and you will
find that the *MODULE CCSID generally is not 65535).
Anytime you are working with literal/constant values in your source and the
application might be run in differing CCSID environments then you should
convert your literal values from your *MODULE/source CCSID to the current
job default CCSID. This applies however only to literal values as I would
assume any program variables containing character data would already be in
the job CCSID (or job default CCSID). So the double quote literals should
be converted, but the contents of your 'name' variable would not be. If
you had the literal 'Some mixed case constant' in your code you would want
to likewise convert this literal. This example does not contain a double
quote but does contain lower case latin characters and if you ever run in
CCSID 5026 (one of the Japanese CCSIDs) you will find out the hard way that
the lower case letters will be interpreted as Katakana -- a definite
problem if this lower case for instance is part of an Integrated File
System path name... And need I mention the classic $, #, and @ characters?

Bruce,
Thanks.. that's exactly what I'm doing. But it appears
that possibly the issue is with a character literal in the
application. In this case it is a double quote.
I am guess that in these cases I need to convert these
characer literals from the CCSID of the program object
(DSPPGM shows 65535, but I don't see any parm for this on
the CRTBNDRPG command) to the default CCSID of the job.
Next, if this is correct, would I convert the character
only, or the entire string that contains the character in
question.
Example, the character is "
The string could be "Joe Smith" (including the quotes).
The program does something like this:
eval text='"' + %trimr(name) + '"'
I found the following note in the invariant character set
list:
EBCDIC code page 1026 where the quotation mark (") is not
at the same code point as it is in the invariant character
set.
So in this case it may sound like I have to look for a
special situation (1026 CCSID) and do the conversion then
and only then? But what would be my base CCSID?
Thanks!
