Before Running the CCSID Conversion Tool

Note:

After running the CCSID Conversion Tool, the format level ID is changed on some files and some JD Edwards World programs will not function.

1. The user profile that is used to run any of these tools must be defined with the CCSID to which you plan to convert the data.

   For example, if you are going to run the tool as QSECOFR, enter this command:

   DSPUSRPRF QSECOFR

   If the value for CCSID on the profile is *SYSVAL, show the value for QCCSID (WRKSYSVAL).

2. If necessary, enter this command to change the CCSID that QSECOFR is currently using:

   CHGUSRPRF QSECOFR CCSID (<nn>)

   Where <nn> is the number you plan to convert the data to (for example, CCSID (37).

3. Sign off and then sign on again as QSECOFR.

   Note:

   Do not log into the JD Edwards World environment. There should be no users logged into the JD Edwards World environment when running the CCSID Conversion tool.

4. Execute these commands:

   ADDLIBLE CCSIDCONV

   GO G96CCSID

   Note:

   Do not try to run the CCSID conversion tool while deleting, restoring or renaming libraries. After deleting, restoring, or renaming libraries, wait for the QDBSVRXR QDBSRVXR2 jobs to show 0 CPU utilization before proceeding.
