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.

Thanks Scott,

I agree. I can't seem to get the vendor to tell me what they want to recieve
at their end. Am I correct in interpretting your example that the x'0b' is
sent by itself (untranslated) and then the translated data is sent?

In my program I am putting the x'0b' and the start of the field, then
concatenating the data and the x'0d0a', and then translating that entire
string to ascii which is what gets sent to the server.

Also, when I do the write, I do get a response that tells me how many bytes
were sent, then the program waits for a reply (where it sits and waits at
the read statement). Thanks for the reply.
