Re: More Stream File and DBCS issues...

Well, for some reason tonight the sO and sI bytes don't
appear in the ASCII now.. but, it still works fine for
plain text.



If the conversion is done correctly, the ASCII would never get the shift
characters.  The DBCS-ness of ASCII data is embedded in the characters
themselves; I'm not sure, but I think that if an ASCII byte has the
high-order bit set (x'80' and above), it is considered the first
character of a double-byte character.

For example, EBCDIC X'0E 446A 416E 69FA 7289 0F' 
converts to ASCII      X'A1B1 A351 CA5B D464'
