Re: FTPAPI does not accept § in file names

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Werner,

My guess is that there's a problem in the ParsePath() routine in 
FTPAPIR4. I haven't looked at it in years, but now that I'm looking at 
it, I see that the CCSID in that routine is hard-coded to 37 -- I 
suspect that's the cause of your issue.

Honestly, I don't understand why it was written that way. (It's stupid 
code!)  Frustratingly, it's probably my fault.

Anyway, in the ParsePath subprocedure, you'll see this:

c                   eval      Qlg_Path_Name_T = *ALLx'00'
c                   eval      CCSID = 37
c                   eval      Country_ID = 'US'
c                   eval      Language_ID = 'ENU'

Please try commenting out those 3 last lines, so that it looks like this:

c                   eval      Qlg_Path_Name_T = *ALLx'00'
c***                eval      CCSID = 37
c***                eval      Country_ID = 'US'
c***                eval      Language_ID = 'ENU'

Please keep the *ALLx'00' line intact, as setting the CCSID, Country_Id 
and Language_Id fields to hex zeros should mean "use the job defaults", 
which is probably what we want.

Try recompiling FTPAPI and running your program again.  Does it work better?
