Abstract

RPGLE-CMPL SUPPORT UNICODE SOURCE WITH NEW TGTCCSID PARAMETER

Error Description

A new command parameter TGTCCSID is added, to support compiling
from Unicode source files in IFS.                              
                                                               
The ILE RPG compiler normally reads the source files for a      
compile in the CCSID of the primary source file. Since the      
compiler only supports reading the source in an EBCDIC CCSID,  
this means that the compile will fail when the primary source  
file has a Unicode CCSID such as UTF-8 or UTF-16.              
                                                               
The TGTCCSID parameter for the CRTBNDRPG and CRTRPGMOD allows  
the RPG programmer to specify the CCSID with which the compiler
will read the source files for the compile. Specify            
TGTCCSID(*JOB) or specify a specific EBCDIC CCSID such as      
TGTCCSID(37) or TGTCCSID(5035).                                
                                                               
The default is TGTCCSID(*SRC) which is the same as the current  
behavior. Unicode source cannot be compiled with                
TGTCCSID(*SRC).                                                
                                                               
When compiling Unicode source with CRTSQLRPGI, specify          
RPGPPOPT(*LVL1) or *LVL2, and COMPILEOPT('TGTCCSID(*JOB)')      
or or some other TGTCCSID parameter value.

The ILE RPG compiler is enhanced with a new TGTCCSID            
parameter for the CRTBNDRPG and CRTRPGMOD commands.
