tinyMCE experience

[kswisher]

Does anyone have any experience with storing the TinyMCE data as Graphic with CCSID of 1200 and the impact of that on other applications?

I don't really have any experience dealing with that and just wondering what we may run into if we try and print that to a normal spool file application. We use FormTastic to produce all of our overlay/PDF.

I'm not familiar with FormTastic... but...

I don't understand why using TinyMCE and storing it in UTF-16 (CCSID 1200) would affect other applications? Would this be because other applications need to read the data from this database table? If so, then whether it would affect them depends on how they are written/designed.

If the applications don't use/interact with this table at all, then I can't see how it could affect the applications.

Can you explain?

Sorry for the confusion. I was just looking for any input from others that have done this.

Yes, I was curious on how printing that data on a standard spool file would work. By playing around with a test spool file and just defining the print field with CCSID 1200, it looks like it converts it just fine.

Of course it has all of the embedded HTML formatting with it, and that is where the problem will be. Users were looking for a nice PDF form to be generated (which we typically would use FormTastic for that...server job in RPGLE) and I really don't want to try and strip all HTML formatting from that field.

Sorry, I'll leave the discussion alone so others who have done it can reply.
