Hi All,
I've been using QDCXLATE for conversions to/from ASCII and EBCDIC.  Alot of
example code is see uses ICONV though.  QDCXLATE uses a *TBL and ICONV uses
CCSID.  Aren't CCSID stored in a table?  What are the benefits of one method
over the other?  Anyone have any guidance on this or is it a difference that
makes no difference?

TIA,
Tom
