IFSIO OPEN

[fanmechanic]

Not sure if this is the right place, but since the IFSIO_H member is in FTPAPI....

We process inbound files from the IFS and it has been fine for years. A few days ago we upgraded from 7.2 to 7.4 and suddenly we can't open files for read. The process to open new files to write and send is Ok. debugging shows the generic -1 value for the file descriptor.

FD = OPEN(%TRIM(FILE) :O_RDONLY+O_TEXTDATA);

Any ideas to point me in the right direction are greatly appreciated.

i was able to retrieve the errmsg ad got "identifier does not exist". more research

[fanmechanic]

correction, mistyped checking the error. real message is "conversion error"

[fanmechanic]

for some reason since the OS upgrade the files are now CCSID 1208, not 819 like they were before.

In order to read UTF-8 files, you need to enable CCSID support.

Code: Select all

fd = open(%TRIM(FILE) :O_RDONLY+O_TEXTDATA+O_CCSID: 0: 0);
