Re: Running in EBCDIC or ASCII

Thaks Gary. I end up using System properties to tell me if I need to
convert. Not very elegant, but that is what I got at the moment.

// set the encoding, in case of it running from RPG program
String overrideEncoding =
System.getProperty("runtime.stdio.encoding.override");
if (overrideEncoding != null && overrideEncoding.trim().length() > 0) {
str = bao.toString(overrideEncoding);
}
else
{
str = bao.toString();
}

Lim --

If this data is coming from stdout (I assume you mean that instead of

stdin)

and stderr, please check the values of os400.stdio.convert and
os400.child.stdio.convert in each environment (RPG versus J2EE).

Also, I'm

assuming that you mean Runtime.exec instead of Runtime.process.

Barbara,
In my case, this StreamGobbler class is threaded out from another

class

that does a remote ssh command call thru the Runtime.process. This
StreamGobbler's job is to consume the stdin and stderr of the
Runtime.process, which in this case would be whatever the ssh server
sent back.

Since ssh is basically running socket under the cover, the data, I

would

think, should be sent as it. I would think it should always be

ascii.

How is it getting in there? It's possible that RPG uses an

EBCDIC

JVM and

your J2EE server uses an ASCII JVM. ...

I don't think there is such a thing as an EBCDIC JVM. If the RPG

is

using RPG's EXTPROC(*JAVA) support, the RPG runtime would be

handling

any necessary conversions between the RPG EBCDIC and the Java

ASCII

for

any character parameters or return values.
