Like you I suspect that there's something misconfigured on the PC side.
What I don't know as Ä is defined in the various ASCII CCSIDs (x'8E' for
850 and 437, x'C4' for 819 and 1252, 1257 for example) and EBCDIC CCSIDs so
there is no reason I can see for generating x'24', x'0A', etc.
As for your test of Ä, what you're seeing is simply the value of the
constant when your application was compiled. Your source file is most
likely CCSID 37 and so x'63' is how Ä is perceived. If your source was
1122 you would see x'7B'.
Sorry I can't help more,

Please respond to
C programming
iSeries / AS400
Thanks Bruce for very well structured questions.
I'm also confused.
What I meant by saying, that 1122 and 37 is the same, is the fact, that
setting machine primary language to 1122 or to 37 has the same effect.
Luckily OS/400 is not translated to Estonian.
My program seems to work at 37 and respectively (Ä) has a code of 0x63 in
my program
char c;
c = 'Ä' ;
printf("%02X\n", c) ;
gives 63
Now PC sends letter "Ä", that is received on this particular AS/400 as 0x24
rather than 0x63.
All basic part of the table (latin letters and numbers) are not scrambled.
Actually I know have a feeling, that problem is rather on the PC side, that
does wrong conversion....
