Possible dumb question: ASCII, EBCDIC, or Unicode?

Folks:

This as the potential of being a dumb question ... what character set does
Java on the iSeries operate in?  ASCII, EBCDIC, or Unicode?

Reason for question: I've got some pure java code running on our system
that is querying a service (via TCP) running on another system (NT
based).  This query runs fine on NT and Unix based Java's, but when we run
the code on the iSeries, it reports that Invalid data was returned from the
service.

The service, btw, is FlexLM ... it's a licensing system we use for our Java
products.

I'm wondering if the FlexLM service is returning information in ASCII, but
the iSeries java is expecting it in EBCDIC?

Thanks!

david
