I am at a client that still has thier CCSID set at 65535. They are considering trying out PHP, and the Zend Server installation pre-requisites expect it to be 37. Seems to me there were some minor issues or gotcha's with just changing the system CCSID to 37, but I don't recall what they were, or maybe that was just some old FUD I have lurking in the back of my head. So is there any reason to be careful about just changing the system CCSID? IBM i 7.1, USA English only.
