what query to ask the codepages a DB2 will read?

Joe Weinstein

Hi all.
I am debugging a problem where one version of a JDBC
driver connects to an AS400 DB2 instance, and another
doesn't. I am told to suspect that the DBMS may not
accept UTF clients. I have no contact with either
driver vendor or a DBA. All I have is query access
to the DBMS via the one driver that works. Is there
a query I can run that lists the codepages the DBMS
will understand?
thanks,
Joe Weinstein

I don't know if there is a query, but perhaps this CCSID info might be
of help:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...mstsidvals.htm

For various releases of iSeries (AS/400), this can be found in the
online SQL Reference manual. Here is a starting point:

Thanks Karl.
I found the issue was that the AS400 DBMS needed a patch
to handle clients that send SQL in multibyte charsets:
