Why do I get the error message ERR0293 Job CCSID invalid for use with EverGreen/400 when issuing any command?

EverGreen/400 requires the setting of the CCSID for the job to be something other than 65535 (the default). To work with EverGreen/400, issue the following command at your command line prior to starting the EverGreen/400 session: CHGJOB CCSID() and then press enter (with being your language specific CCSID). To avoid having to do this every time, you can set this value as a default in a couple of different ways: 1) the system value QCCSID can be set to a compatible CCSID (basically everything other than *HEX or 65535). 2) the individual user profiles can have this CCSID value set. 3) you can create a very small CL program that has the aforementioned command to change the CCSID of the job, then a GO EVERGREEN (or whatever EverGreen/400 command you want your users to use), and then when they exit out reissue the CHGJOB CCSID(65535).
