I'm experiencing troubles with the CTEXT() translating funtcion, when trying to translate some french characters.
Here is an example:
image 1 : characters expected
image 2 : characters I can see as result
I assume this is related to my ccsid configurations and tried different configurations, without success.
Here is some informations about my ccsid configuration: AXES user profile: ccsid 37 HostCCSID (defined in aXesTS.conf): ccsid 1147 (France) IFS file containing translations : ccsid 819
A this time I'm looking at the ccsidoverride option in /AXES/configs/aXesTS.conf , but I' m not sure how to use it.
My other assumption is that the problem comes from the way I write into the Ifs file containing the translations, not sure of it.
Did you download the lang file "Texts_Cust_fr.txt" from IBMi, edit it with UTF-8 encoding on PC, and upload/overrite it? (Down/uploading transaction should be FTP binary mode.) If not, I would recommend you to do this instead. It would be easier than editing on IBMi considerring its CCSID.
You are right my problem was in the way I write data to the file: using the method you describe (editing UTF8 + Ftp) it works well with all specific characters.
