I am using iConv to convert data from 37 to 1208. The data contains
one character (accented capital E) that is converted to DBCS in 1208.

I have an issue where I am getting different results on a V5R3 machine
vs anything newer than that.

V5R3 seems to convert things ok.

V5R4 and up the accented E gets converted properly to the right DBCS
value, but everything after that (simple letters) are corrupted.

Any idea what could be causing this? Is this a case where I would
need to convert each character one by one instead of all at once?

Thanks!

Brad
