Hi Magne,

The file you have is UTF-16LE, but CCSID 1200 is UTF-16.  The "LE"
stands for "little endian", whereas CCSID 1200 is "big endian."

IBM does not officially support UTF-16LE (CCSID 1202) anywhere on the
system as far as I know -- the only IBM-approved way to deal with
UTF-16LE is by converting it from UTF-16LE to UTF-16 (CCSID 1200) with
the QlgTransformUCSData() API.

Once converted to UTF-16 (which is fully supported), you can mark it as
CCSID 1200 and deal with it normally.

    Hi Scott,


    I got a file in Unicode (UTF16LE) and tries to import to a pf.

    I have read a couple of your articles about this and got a few leads
    on how to do this, but could not find how to get from Unicode to
    ascii.


    1.      I store the file in IFS, it gets CCSID = 1252.  I can view the
    file with wrklnk and option 5, but I guess it's still Unicode since
    I've just stored it.

    2.      I tried to use these commands with no success:

    CHGATR OB(`/magnek/mms1.txt') ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(1200)

    I can not see any characters with wrklnk and option 5. But wordpad
    shows the file ok.

    CHGATR OB(`/magnek/mms1.txt') ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(819)

    Same result as in nbr 1.

    3.      I tried to use CPY fromccsid(1200) toccsid(819). Same result
    as in nbr 1.

    4.      I tried to use CPYFRMSTMF and CPYFRMIMPF with no success.

    How can I get this UTF16LE file from the IFS to a PF?


    Best regards,

    Magne
