hi experts,

.i'm trying to create a a unix file in ECC6. When characters š and Č were encountered, it was replaced by #. I also tried logging on to appropriate language but it still throws the same output. Help please.

thanks,

Try this way

I think this is related to "OPEN DATASET" statement. It is necessary to specify as an option, which character set is used in the disk file. Since the legacy system is still using the "old" character set and not Unicode.

Option MODE must be specified like:

LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1100'.

Examples:

open dataset fnam for output in legacy text mode code page '1100'.
