Check the CodePage value on the iSeries, by DSPSYSVAL QCHRID

Make sure that a codepage table resides on Your iSeries in library
QUSRSYS that maps the western PC code page 850 middel fixed by 337

e.g. in Denmark:

   DSPSYSVAL QCHRID gives 277


The Western code page translation table is according to the above
Q  850  337  277    => Q850337277

WRKOBJ OBJ(QUSRSYS/Q850337277) OBJTYPE(*TBL)   gives one occurens

The problem might occur if the system code page is more than 3
digits - for using the euro sign. Then substitution code pages are
to be made....
