Re: IFS CCSID 1025

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wim,

Your code is set up to translate data from one CCSID to another.  Are 
the cyrillic characters allowed in both the job's CCSID and also CCSID 
1025?  Obviously, if you can't produce the characters in the source 
CCSID, you won't be able to translate them to the target CCSID, either.
