couple of things wrong with this. First the translation from E to A and back does not give the same result (depending a bit on code pages), seconds, base64 was designed to encode arbitrary binary data for which even the concept of translating E to A doesn't make sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Waterbury <mark.s.waterbury@worldnet.att.net> To: <mi400@midrange.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [MI400] base64 encoder/decoder for EBCDIC systems > Hi, Jim (et al): > > Maybe I am "missing something" here, but, it seems to me that > you could simply write a "wrapper" to call QDCXLATE to > translate from EBCDIC to ASCII, then invoke the Base64 code, > then at the other end, convert from Base64 back to ASCII, then, > (if necessary), invoke QDCXLATE to translate it back to EBCDIC > again (if you are running on an AS/400 or iSeries or IBM mainframe > at the other end, that needs EBCDIC).
