Anupam -

I assume you're using Windows and iSeries Access as your emulator.
Have you configured Windows to use the east Asian Languages, selected 
Japanese as the Windows Language, and changed your emulator session to use 
Japanese as the host code page?

BTW, I believe that we use 939 as the CCSID for our Japanese double-byte 
environment which uses mixed English/Japanese...
