I am a bit new here and these forums have been really helpful for learning about iSeries.
This problem started about a month ago and I haven't been able to find a solution to it. When converting from CCSID 37 table to 1252 some characters are mistranslated. Like for example É goes from hex 71 > 90 according to windows but when I view it using WRKLNK it says it is C9 and appears properly as 1252 when viewing through terminal. But when viewed from windows it is viewed as x90. I noticed that the characters are correctly matched to CCSID 437 and if I change the CCSID on the file to 437 without translating it appears wrong in AS400 but right in Windows.
To get around this issue I've tried different things like UTF-8 CCSID 1208 but windows cannot open the file and gives an error message saying unable to open file. Trying to delete it through windows also gives an error and need to delete through Terminal. Luckily none of our clients that prefer UTF-8 require any return files.
I have spent the last few days on google and asked other members of my team that have been doing this for years and have come up empty handed.
