When you connect from a non-iSeries application requester (AR) to a DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries™ application server (AS), columns tagged with CCSID 65535 are not converted. If the files that contain these columns do not contain any columns that have a CCSID explicitly identified, the CCSID of all character columns can be changed to another CCSID value. To change the CCSID, use the Change Physical File (CHGPF) command. If you have logical files built over the physical file, follow the directions given in the recovery topic of the error message (CPD322D) that you get.
