Hi,
I have a field 'PREF_NAME' in a table defined CHAR(40). The table has data for 'PREF_NAME' and it has some junk characters also.
QMF Result:
Select PREF_NAME from TAB1 resulted below value:
Blaze Vran~ois
COBOL Result: the same query results when extracted into a file it has the below value:
Blaze Vran ois
Can someone explain what is causing the issue here. Even the values which we saw after HEX ON in file(COBOL) & QMF are different.
Thanks |

| And what are, in fact, the values that you are getting, and the value actually in the table? |

This is a wrong statement -- there is no such thing as "junk characters". There may be characters you don't recognize, and there may be characters you don't want to see, but they are still part of the collating sequence and hence are real characters, not "junk".
COBOL defaults to using code page 1140 -- what code page does your QMF default to? |

You have "accented" characters, and neither codepage that you are using is able to display them as accented charactes.
For instance, they should both appear as "François", with a cedilla under the "c". You need a codepage which has all the characters you need for your accent/diacritic usage. |

I saw in compiler listing related to CODE PAGE.
00007C 0474 DC X'0474' UNSIGNED BINARY CODE PAGE CCSID VALUE
I am not able to figure out what is there for QMF. |

Hello,
Suggest you ask the people who install / support QMF on your system. . . |
