Hi,

I’m currently having some issues trying to figure out what CGIJobCCSID to use in Apache when I have a CGI program that will be outputting both Arabic characters, and JSON.
So far I’ve tried 420, which appears to lack the curly braces required for JSON, and 425 which seems to be missing quite a few of the Arabic characters that are available in 420. I’ve also tried 62224, which caused Apache to throw a 500 error, and 8612 which is also missing curly braces.

Hoping there might be someone on the mailing list who has encountered a requirement like this before.

Thanks!
- Steven
