RE: Problem: Post data getting garbled on British customer's box

["Clive Johnson" <Clive.Johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had an almost idenical problem on our British i-series. The square
brackets were being mistranslated when they went from ASCII to EBCDIC.

Scott Klement pointed out what the problem was and in our case it got
fixed. Check all your language settings.

On our box the problem was an inconsistency between the different
settings. We had:-

Syatem value QCCSID = 65535
Syatem value QCHRID = 695/1146
System value QCNTRYID = GB
System value QKBDTYPE = USB (this is probably wrong but does not appear
to affect the problem)
Syatem value QLANGID = ENU (US English)

We changed the QLANGID to ENG (British English) and the translations all
worked correctly.

Subject: Problem: Post data getting garbled on British customer's box

It seems that the post data, being JSON, has square brackets. And a
British EBCDIC left square bracket is, for some unknown reason, at
x'B1', but it's evidently being translated to ASCII as a Pound Sterling,
which is what U.S. EBCDIC (under which everything was compiled) has at
that codepoint.

Any suggestions on how I fix this?
