Coding in RPG (IBM i/AS400). Using UTF8 character strings.

In this video, I’d like to talk about how you can use UTF8 (Unicode) strings in RPG. Not only how you can define tables using SQL, with fields containing information with that CCSID, but also using them in RPG.
As you know from 7.2 we can define character strings with a concrete CCSID. I show you an example of how you can use them.
Enjoy!
