Don't assume locale/CCSID

[NattyNarwhal]

Problem for international users.

CCSID could be fetched, but the locale not sure the best approach, use PASE or system locale?

[NattyNarwhal]

CCSID can be fetched, just locale is the other problem. The problem with locale is that the XPF locales (*.locale in QSYS) don't really quite line up with the UTF-8 AIX locales (in /usr/lib/nls/loc), but i think if you strip to first 5 chars after stripping path, it may work.

ASCII CCSID we should just try to make it 1208 all the time. Less variables, please!

Is this addressed at c747fb3 ?

I see the notes about the cut point. Perhaps an alternative implementation would do something like:

/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python2.7  -c "import ctypes;print(ctypes.CDLL('libc.a(shr_64.o)', 0x00040000).Qp2jobCCSID())"

Mildly cursed, but workable. Do you know similarly nice means for dealing with the locale?

[NattyNarwhal]

Works like you'd expect. I'm still curious about locale, but I expect to have to involve a mapping...
