I wrote the original iSeries to handle both single and double byte
output, so your trace should be a ok as it is, I did however discover
recently that the format of the output could differ depending on how the
spool file is moved to the PC. There are a number of fixes to the
iSeries wiretap in the current SVN version that address these
differences so you might want to try the latest development version, or
if you prefer send me a copy of your trace and I'll confirm whether it
can be read or not.
Cheers .. Martin
