Re: Unix APIs, stream files, codepages and the like

Joe,

If you call open() with the right parms, it'll do the EBCDIC to ASCII
conversion for you...   

Here are links to some examples I posted in the RPG400-L mailing
list at midrange.com over the past few years :)

You can probably find quite a bit more info if you did a search of
the RPG400-L archives.

If you're interested, I could also send you a copy of the /copy 
member I use for stream files...  it's posted in one of those links
above, but I've probably fixed few bugs in it since that message
was posted 2 years ago. :)  If you're interested, just ask.

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, but I didn't notice the thread until just
now....
