CCSID conversions for Query for iSeries options and functions
You may get a diagnostic message or unexpected result when you select a Query for iSeries option or
press a function key that requires a conversion from one CCSID to another. The following may help you
understand what conversions may be needed to satisfy various requests and what happens when such a
conversion fails.
Displaying a Query for iSeries query
The following table shows how different combinations of job and query CCSIDs affect displaying a query
and how constants are treated. You can display the query definition if the process (job) CCSID and the
query definition CCSID match, if either is marked with a CCSID of 65535 (do not convert), or if the query
definition is not marked. In Table 10 on page 250, 37 is the English CCSID and 65535 is a CCSID that
blocks conversion.
