Hey,
Before I get to the response, this is being sent on August 28. If
anyone wants to check on actual conditions of Hurricane Dennis as it blows
by ( we hope ) the Jacksonville, FL area, you can go to our local user group
site at
http://www.jax400.com
and click on 'Da Beach'. This links to a National Weather Service page with
digital cameras right on the beach.
Yep, the CCSID 65535 thing is really disgusting, both in IBM's default
behavior and third parties' handling of it. I've spoken with the IBM guy
who handles this sort of thing with no results. I'm not sure that JDE even
understands the significance, especially at the field/column level. BTW, I
used to work at JDE, did the original financial reporting stuff, so I feel
free to ( validly ) criticize.
Anyhow, while you can find info on what's going on, I don't think you'll
find a direct answer, because it is so dependent on what you are doing and
the feasibility of various solutions. Secondly, most listers would probably
consider this too platform specific and off topic ( although they may run
into this sort of thing from any non-ASCII machine. )
I'll be happy to assist if you want to mail further info directly.

"upgrade" changed CCSID on 'certain' file fields. Now unable to load into
MSSql Server 7.0 data warehouse. Random fields in JDE have CCSID set to
65535 (no conversion of EBCDIC).

>Looking for way to change a setup or mapping file and/or JVM setting that
would automatically convert any CCSID 65535 EBCDIC to CCSID 037 (American
STandard) without having to write code or change "Numerous" files. No longer
have Java programmer in-house but do have RPG guru. Please e-mail if
possible. Will be searching the web. Thank you.
