Re: API usage: iconv() - Thank you for the help! (eom)

Thanks for the help with the question below!

Hi all,

I need to convert characters for a set of EDI interfaces.  Based on
corporate region, certain characters are reserved and therefore will cause
local application problems unless filtered out and converted to something
benign. For example, for Europe I need to filter out these:    :+;  and
replace them with a space.

I am looking at creating tables to do this (TBL objects). I understand that
this will work with QDCXLATE, but I'd like to know if it will also work
with the iconv() API (since it should run faster).

The documentation shows that the code page number is passed to iconv().  Is
there a way to use my specialized table instead?


Thanks in advance,
