Hi enrico-sorichetti,
If you really want to help other people, please be more patient.
This is really not easy question. I had read many materials on Internet, but there is no detail explanation for difference between those 2 codepage.
Many days ago, I had tried upload a file from PC to Host by FTP. This file contains some special chinese characters such as 睄(EBCDIC Hex Value:a57d), 睉(EBCDIC Hex Value:a582).
During FTPing, when I used following commands, the conversion was failed.
QUOTE SITE ENCODING=MBCS
QUOTE SITE MBDATACONN=(IBM-1388,IBM-5488)
However, when I used following commands, the conversion was successful.
QUOTE SITE ENCODING=MBCS
QUOTE SITE MBDATACONN=(IBM-1388,IBM-1386)

Therefore, I guess IBM-1386 contains more characters than IBM-5488. But I can not find materials to verify it. Or there is possible other difference that I don't understand.
That's why I need friends in this website to help me!

Hope your detail explanation!

a detailed explanation means to rewrite info that can be found somewhere else

when I tell people to google it means that I have already carried on the reseach myself,
and the info requested can be easily reachable and understandable..


what is that You do not understand in
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globaliz ... id1386.jsp
and
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globaliz ... id5488.jsp
and
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globaliz ... ndix_c.jsp
or start from the top
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globaliz ... 1n-res.jsp

also remember to add to Your searches the string GB18030

if you really want to help other people, please be more patient.

I had much more patience and dedicated to Your issue more time than Your patronizing attitude deserves
That's why I need friends in this website to help me!

and if You keep that attitude You will make very few friends
don' t You feel that addressing as friends casual internet acquaintances is a bit excessive and condescending ?
also be honest, You do not care about friends here, You just want Your problem solved, don' t You?
cheers
