Re: Changing system CCSID from 65535 to 37

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's a post from Chuck in the archives that lays out some details where
changing the system CCSID could be an issue.
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200712/msg00754.html

But there's been many on the list who've changed it without issue.  Myself
included.

Heck, I think I talked a former employer of yours and mine into changing
the CCSID on TEST in the middle of the day. ;)
