Hi there,

My EDI application using FTPAPI has been working for some time with pure
English characters.

Recently, I need to send some IFS files including Thai Characters to our
customer who is using Unix system

My IFS file's attribute is:

                                  Display Attributes

Object . . . . . . :   /cmtedi/outbox/data/SM200605221411.TXT

Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   STMF

Owner  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   QPGMR
System object is on  . . . . . . . . . :   Local
Auxiliary storage pool . . . . . . . . :   1
  Object overflowed  . . . . . . . . . :   No

Coded character set ID . . . . . . . . :   1252
Hidden file  . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   No
PC system file . . . . . . . . . . . . :   No
Read only  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   No

Need to archive (PC) . . . . . . . . . :   Yes
Need to archive (OS/400) . . . . . . . :   Yes


The file shows in i5/OS environment without any problem, however when
sending it to Unix, the Thai character could not be translated correctly.

I tried to change the IFS's attribute to CCSID 838, and  when doing FTP,
and manage to use LTYPE C 874, it does not work as well.

Anybody can help?

Regards,
Xue Jiguang
