Hi all,

A lot of people have responded to my email about ascii to ebcdic conversion
using varpg to or from a PC file.  My program has to be able to perform the
whole process on an AS/400. Also, the fields may, or may not be the same
length in both files. Will varpg do anything for me that the QDCXLATE API
won't?

Thanks for any help!

Chris

it will handle the conversions just fine but you can only use sequential
read or chain by record number.

Hi Chris

I wrote a VARPG application that read an AS400 file and wrote it to a
local file on the PC. It did all the conversions for me. I do not see
why you could not write a VARPG program to read a local file(Ascii) and
write it to the AS400.
VARPG should handle the translation for you , or so I think.

Hi all,

I was curious....does VARPG have extra conversion capabilities that are
not
available with RPGILE? You see, we have an application that converts
AS/400
data to ascii for download to the store controllers using QFRXLT to do
the
field translation. I now have to write an application that does the
opposite, converting ascii to ebcdic. I found the QDCXLATE API and I
assume
that may be a newer conversion utility. However, I'm wondering if I
might be
able to create a non-GUI VARPG application that could make the data
conversion process easier? Does this make any sense or am I way out in
left
field? Perhaps, someone may have even another solution......

Thanks,
