In your earlier message, you said that the target of the %SUBST was also CCSID(1208). If you are converting Spanish, French data to CCSID(424), you would risk losing data since CCSID(424) does not have all the accented characters like à and é. It would be good to add CCSIDCVT(*EXCP) so you get an exception if any CCSID conversion fails due characters in the source CCSID that are not in the target CCSID. -- Barbara -- This is the RPG programming on IBM i (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: https://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: [email protected] Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at https://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.
