Re: Writing to IFS with Node.. Code page...

Someone else mentioned the directory's CCSID. I couldn't find a way to
display or change that.

CSSID 819 is ISO 8859-1 ASCII and node/javascript engines runs UTF-16
internally (seldom UCS-2) and store files as UTF-8 as default so the
correct CSSID would be 1208 but since CSSID is IBM i only the files becomes
the directory's CCSID.

Anyway - here are a list of encoding supported by fs property "encoding"
but be aware that it dosn't use the ifs files CCSID like native does.


- ascii
- base64
- binary
- hex
- ucs2/ucs-2/utf16le/utf-16le
- utf8/utf-8
- latin1 (ISO8859-1, *only in node 6.4.0+*)

819 should be OK. What format were you going for ?

subject: [WEB400] Writing to IFS with Node.. Code page...

Just wondering if there is a way to specify the code page for a stream
file when using Node and fs. Seems to always use 819.

TIA.
