Re: Garbage text return to the browser

[Scott Klement <web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is your content-type set to?   The HTTP server should automatically 
translate your data, but only if your content-type is "text"  (such as 
text/html, text/plain, text/xml, etc)

%%MIXED/MIXED%% will work fine for everything except %xx constants.  If 
you have any of those in your data (such as with HTML form data) you 
should switch to %%EBCDIC/EBCDIC%% or simply EBCDIC.
