RE: Socket Programming - HL7 Data to Win2k server

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you put the ASCII control codes x'0b' and x'0d0a' into the string that 
gets translated, they'll come out wrong - either you send them separately, 
untranslated, or you find out what EBCDIC values get converted to these. 
You might take a look at the translation table for EBCDIC to ASCII - WRKTBL 
and look at the descriptions for what you want.
