When the the system values QCCSID is not set, applications has difficulties determine which CCSID to use when converting to ASCII.

To deal with that issue we have introduces a data area that overrides the invalid system value.

Create the CCSID data area in the BlueSeries database library and set the values to your preferred CCSID 

CRTDTAARA DTAARA(BLUEXDB/EMLCCSID) 
           TYPE(*DEC)              
           LEN(5 0)                
           VALUE(277)         

This requires BlueSeries build 165.
