Hi

I've played with QRCODE a little, not with international characters, 
though - so i looked up the BARCODE documentation  - it's at this address -

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzakd/rzakdmstptbarco.htm#rzakdmstptbarco__ebctoascii

for 7.3, anyhow.

There is a section on converting the text for QRCODE - your answer might 
be there - it seems that the text is converted from your job's CCSID to 
EBCDIC 500, or a couple others, based on a the *CONVERT option you 
specify. If you don't specify that, it does some kind of "normal" 
conversion before building the barcode. There's a section with more 
about what that means.
