Actually it's the line feed character you need to watch for because QASCII
and QEBCDIC are not reversable. Ascii x'0A' = Ebcdic x'15' but not the
other way around, you have to use x'25'. You should change the translation
table not the data (if you're working in C) 'cause AS/400 C functions like
'gets' will only recogize x'15' as newline.
