Charles: Your display UNI doesn't show a conversion from codepage 1200 to codepage 037, or from 037 to 1200. 037 is EBCDIC. 1200 is Unicode Your need to configure Unicode System Services to convert from EBCDIC to Unicode and back again.

They are following some sort of instructions for compiling some vendor package so I don't know that anyone knows the answer to the question "why are you doing it this way?" or rather, the answer is "because we're the customer and we want to do it this way." NSYMBOL(NATIONAL),DBCS,CODEPAGE(1200) They are getting the following error. Does this error message mean anything to anyone reading this? How can you convert from code page 1200 to code page 1200? IGYDS5273-U A conversion to or from national data was attempted but the conversion was unsuccessful. One of the two CCSID values, 01200 or 01200, was invalid or Conversion Services was not configured to support conversion between the two. FYI, here is the output of a d uni,all command on our system: CUN3000I 09.57.48 UNI DISPLAY 517 ENVIRONMENT: CREATED 11/25/2005 AT 22.03.17 MODIFIED 11/25/2005 AT 22.03.21 IMAGE CREATED 04/27/2004 AT 23.18.26 SERVICE: CUNMCNV CUNMCASE STORAGE: ACTIVE 178 PAGES LIMIT 524287 PAGES CASECONV: NORMAL CONVERSION: 01140-01200(17584)- 01200(17584)-01140- 01200(13488)-01252- 01200-01399- 01399-01200- 01140-01208- 01200-01208- Thanks for any clues that anyone can provide.
