Question & Answer
Question
What character conversion issues must my program deal with?
Answer
The IBM i database uses EBCDIC to store text. Java uses Unicode. The JDBC driver handles all conversion between character sets, so your program should not have to worry about it.
If you need to store your data as Unicode in the database, make sure to declare the column as GRAPHIC CCSID 13488. If you receive the "CCSID conversion not valid" error, try setting your system CCSID to 37.
