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.

parameter for the CRTBNDRPG and CRTRPGMOD commands.
