how to convert graphical character to as400 characters using cl program only.

First, graphical characters already are “as400 characters”. It’s not clear what you mean. I’d guess that you mean that you want to be able to read values from some fields that have DBCS data (or a graphical CCSID) and you want to read the values using the system’s normal national language character set.

What if your character set doesn’t have characters that match the graphical characters?

Current releases of CL are capable of calling all of the conversion APIs that I’ve ever used. What is your operating system version?

Do you want CL to display converted data? Or do you want to copy graphical data from one table into a new table with converted characters?
