Hi ,
What is the difference between the two modes while opening the file?
TEXT MODE and
LEGACY TEXT MODE
open dataset DSN in legacy text mode for output
open dataset DSN in text mode for output encoding utf-8.
Can I use LEGACY TEXT MODE instead of TEXT MODE?
For LEGACY TEXT MODE Unicode programs do not check whether the data objects used for reading or writing are character-type and that can solve TRANSFER statement runtime error if there is non-unicode fields in data object , for example
TRANSFER f TO file .... and f has couple of Non-character fields
Please advice.
Regards,
