RE: EBCDIC ==> ASCII

["Al Karman" <Alk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howard,

I think your subject is reversed....

If the HP you speak of is in fact the venerable 3000, using the :FCOPY
function, you'd want ;EBCDICOUT to force output to be EBCDIC.

Folks, I have a situation where I may need to take ASCII data from an HP
and
update mainframe data. I believe I know how I need to do this but for
piece
of mind I want to run it buy the experts.

If I declare the host variables where I will stage the data (Select
Into
from HP) as CCSID 37 will the data in fact be converted by DB2 from
ASCII to
EBCDIC ?

Is there a better way to accomplish this i.e.. a function?
