Re: iConv() questions... SBCS to DBCS

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brad,

I've never had a problem?   Also, 1208 isn't DBCS, it's UTF-8...

Make sure you are using a separate output buffer from input buffer. 
(i.e. don't use the same spot in memory for both input and output.)

Other than that, I can't think of anything that could go wrong -- and it 
has always worked for me.
