I have a stream file, that appears to be CCSID 819.
This is a EDI file, and I am having trouble with the end of record

FWiW: I had long avoided Display File (DSPF) and Edit File (EDTF)
commands because at one time, as I recall, the conversion from ASCII was
always effected into the [Default] Job CCSID where only an EBCDIC CCSID
is supported; notably, the error msg CPFB618 "Conversion between CCSID
&1 and the job's CCSID is not supported" is a possible outcome according
to "Error messages"
<http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_71/cl/edtf.htm>. I
would only ever use the Dump Object (DMP) command and view the QPSRVDMP
spooled output; the hex code points are presented such that there is
never any conversions of the data.


Thanks,
I had some similar confusion within the ILE debugger, in that if I would view the string as EBCDIC, I saw the new line char as a reverse image char, but if I asked for HEX, it would show the x'25' as a period (.) .
