Unicode on AS/400 RPGLE

Normap22 — Wed, 18 May 2011 20:23:30 +0000

We are upgrading to 9.0 JD Edwards where the unicode tables have CCSID = 13488; I still need them to work with legacy files, CCSID = 37. How can I get these 2 types of tables to interact within RPGLE (V6R1M0).

Stop using UNICODE data type

BradBradley — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 15:33:28 +0000

I repeatedly need to upload spreadsheet content and create physical files on our V5R4 iSeries box. Each time I run the create-new-file wizard, it scans the source data and, if a character is encountered in a data row, it defaults the data type to UNICODE. I want it to default to CHARACTER. Is there a way to override this?

How to display CCSID(1200) in a DSPF 5250

Protelo — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:25:27 +0000

I am working on a project to enable certain fields in the DB for unicode UTF-8. I have coded the affected DSPF with CCSID(1200) and recompiled, however the data is still displayed as gibberish. What am I doing wrong?

ucs2 data and bidirectional languages

anncyb — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:51:35 +0000

I have an application that has the data stored in ucs2 fields. Moving the data from a ucs field to an alpha field works fine on our system. On another system, when one line is in English the data is fine, the next line being hebrew seems to be performing a move instead of a movel no matter how I code it (MOVEL or %char) and I end up with the data in the wrong positions of the field. Before using ucs2 data the process worked fine. The program is compiled CCSID(*CHAR:*JOBRUN). The system settings are CHRID 941, Code Page 424, CCSID 65535. The systems are V6R1M0.

Can anyone explain what is happening and how I fix it? I need the code to be universal.

SDA1528 – VALUES graphic data format is invalid

AMT — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:13:18 +0000

Hi,

I am working in a project where unicode enablement is required for an existing application and i am facing following issues:

1. Existing Display files use COMP, VALUES keywords with character fields e.g. VALUES(‘ABC’ ‘XYZ’ etc.)

2. CL programs are using Character variable for parameter passing, retrieving fields from data areas, data queues etc.

3. Printer files are using Character fields with EDTWRD, BARCODE etc. keywords.

We are converting all Character database fields to unicode data type G and CCSID(1200), similarly all the DSPF and PRTF fields are changed to data type G but the issue is how to handle the keywords (VALUES,COMP,EDTWRD and BARCODE) in DSPFs and PRTFs. and how to handle the DBCS-Graphics data type in CL programs.

in case of DSPF, i tried to change one field of length 5, data type from A to G, usage B in Display File. original valid values “APART” and “DPART” were retained on VALUES keyword but then it shows error message “SDA1528 – VALUES graphic data format is invalid”. Message (F1) help suggests “The syntax for defining values for DBCS-graphic field is as follows : the value must start with the character ‘G’, followed by a apostrophe (‘) and a Shift-Out character, followed by the double-byte data, then a Shift-In character and a apostrophe.

Any idea how to type shift-out/Shift-in control characters using my Keyboard (i am using standard Client access PC5250 for V5R3M0 ver 5.7 for windows and iSeries is V5R4).

Kindly feel free to comment and provide your inputs over the approach and any other suitable suggestions for unicode conversion of applications.

Thanks in advance…waiting for much awaited help.

Regards…Amit

JDE Enterprise Unicode

MBERIC — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:17:48 +0000

We are upgrading from JDE A7.30 co-existance to Enterprise One. The database has been converted to Unicode. I have another application (Avantis) which integrates to DDM files on a second iSeries which does not use Unicode. How can I access/create these DDM files to appear non-unicode to the second iSeries?

ArcGIS, .NET, Urgent! Please help

Andisheh — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:28:21 +0000

I’m trying to save a unicode utf8 string –> “سلام” in a feature of a featureclass, but it is saved like “????”.as ArcMap support different encodin and also Farsi that I’m working with, It should be possible through my program.but I didn’t find any way yet.anybody knows about this?

feature = fc.CreateFeature();
feature.Shape = point;
feature.set_Value(feature.Fields.FindField(“Name”), o.Name);
feature.Store();

fc is an IFeatureClass, feature is an IFeature and o.Name is a unicode.utf8 string.in watch window:
feature.get_value(feature.Fields.FindField(“Name”))–> is OK
but
fc.GetFeature(1).Get_Value(feature.Fields.FindField(“Name”)) –> is “????”

and this is what is saved. What should I do? Cry
