Re: 5250 And Unicode

[Rich Loeber <rich@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Hello List,

   Here's a bit of a followup on this item .... I mentioned late yesterday
   that I was working in COBOL .... well, it turns out that COBOL has a built
   in capability of doing these conversions for you right in the database
   read.  Really simplifies my life to have this.

   On the PROCESS statement, you need the following options:

           NTLCCSID(13488) CVTPICNGRAPHIC

   Then, when you read the database with the GRAPHIC field that is defined as
   UCS_2, it will return the correct field values to you that you can then
   work with.

 In V7.1 there exists a 5250 web session. It is included in the *ADMIN
 instance of the webserver. So unless you need all that Access for the
 web offers you may find this easier to use.

 i found it under:
 IBM i Management
 5250 Emulation

  1) To display Unicode on 5250, you need iSeries Access for Web.
  Traditional 5250 emulators only support EBCDIC (not Unicode).
