Re: question about none english character when using HTTPAPI

[Johan Wigh <johan_wigh@xxxxxxxx>]

   If i try to answer
   To anser point 1-4
   1.  I have tried different methods of approach  both the XML stored in
   database file and   written  straight into the program! No really
   difference at all! Same problem occur!
   5. The CCSID of the machine and job is 65535!
   The strange thing is that when i consume webservice that in the
   response send back the swedish letter of Ö i can read  the variable
   ok. The problem is that when im sendning the same letter Ö to anotther
   webservice it comes out wrong as ?? on the other side!
   I have tried both with and without the function HTTP_setCCSIDs(1208
   :0). and using the XML enconding tag UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1

   Johan,
   I do not know whether I will be able to solve your CCSID problem
   entirely
   or not. I am also not sure that the following explanation explains the
   ?
   character(s) at the receiving side. Nevertheless, please answer the
   following questions:
   1) Are the non-english characters hard coded literals such as 'Hello
   World'?
   2) If the non-english characters are literals, what is the CCSID of
   your
   source physical file?
   3) Are the non-englich characters read from a file?
   4) If the non-english characters are read from a file, what is the
   CCSID of
   the file.
   5) What is the CCSID of your job?
   There are several potential reasons for the problem:
   a) If your job CCSID is 65535 (=*HEX) and the characters are read from
   a
   file, no CCSID conversion (file to job) takes place. But HTTP API
   converts
   the data from the job CCSID to 1208 with HTTP_setCCSIDs(1208 :0).
   b) If the CCSID of your source physical file does not match the CCSID
   of
   your job (parameter CCSID or default CCSID for CCSID=65535) the
   literals in
   your program do not have the same CCSID of your job and hence HTTP API
   cannot correctly translate the request message with
   HTTP_setCCSIDs(1208 :0).
   Example:
   I wrote a module with CCSID 37 that uses iconv() to translate the '@'
   character to CCSID 1208. It then writes the UTF-8 data to a file in
   binary
   mode. When I run the job with CCSID 37 everything works like a charm.
   But
   when I change the job CCSID to 273 (German) the '@' sign is converted
   to '§'.
   Regards,
   Thomas
