RE: ASCIIi to EBCDIC

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's not just ASCII to EBCDIC.... You have to take codepage (and CCSID) into
account.  There are APIs that perform codepage or CCSID translations better
than the basic translation tables.  Search for iconv() in the archives.

Subject: ASCIIi to EBCDIC


I'm confused about the ASCII to EBCDIC translation table.  Please help.

x'5D' --> in ASCII is display as ]
   
x'5D' --> QTCPEBC table translated it to x'BD' --> display on AS400 as "
x'5D' --> QEBCDIC table translated it to x'5A' --> display on AS400 as !

Why is IBM provide tables that do not match the ASCII character?
