The Convert Sort Sequence Table (QLGCNVSS) API converts a 256-byte sort sequence table from one coded character set identifier (CCSID) encoding to another.


Authorities and Locks

None.


Required Parameter Group

Converted sort sequence table
OUTPUT; CHAR(256)

The converted sort sequence table.

Type of returned sort sequence table
OUTPUT; CHAR(1)

The type of sort sequence table returned. Possible values are:

1 A shared-weight table.
2 A unique-weight table.

Substitution values encountered
OUTPUT; CHAR(1)

Whether substitution values were involved during the conversion from the source CCSID of the table to the requested CCSID. Possible values are:

0 No substitutions were involved.
1 Substitutions were involved.

Source sort sequence table
INPUT; CHAR(256)

The source sort sequence table to be converted.

CCSID of source table
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The CCSID of the source table. The valid range is 1 to 65533 and 65535.

CCSID of converted table
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The CCSID to which the source table is to be converted. The valid range is 1 to 65533 and 65535.

Error code
I/O; CHAR(*)

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter.
