Re: CCSID's and viewing IFS file in a Windows Share

Alan,

I'm a bit confused by your post.

The CR character is the same in ASCII, EBCDIC and UTF-8, it's always 
x'0d'.  The LF character is x'25' in EBCDIC, and x'0a' in ASCII/UTF-8.

In an RPG program, you should be coding x'0d25', since this is the 
EBCDIC codes for CRLF.  The only time you'd code x'0D0A' is if your data 
is already ASCII, and therefore no ASCII/EBCDIC translation is taking place.

But, your message says x'0D0A' is working?  Huh?  And then you say that 
the green screen shows 0D0A because it's converting to EBCDIC... that 
does not make any sense.

Can you explain?
