RE: API: cwbOBJ_ReadSplF

Since I've been trying these APIs on the iSeries my Databases node in
Navigator will not work. I get an error "An error occurred while
attempting to initialize the list. The requested operation cannot be
performed because the server connection was dropped" when clicking on
the Databases node. Everything else works. Any ideas?

The array is zero based so it's 0-499 with a length of 500.

What if you try this way:

//Fill w/random values
new Random().NextBytes(ebcdicBytes);

//Set some specific values...
ebcdicBytes[22] = 0; //null
ebcdicBytes[23] = 0x40; //space
ebcdicBytes[24] = 0xf1; //#1
ebcdicBytes[25] = 0xd9; //letter 'R'
ebcdicBytes[26] = 0x6f; //question mark '?'
ebcdicBytes[115] = 0; //another null
ebcdicBytes[116] = 0x97; //letter 'p'

//Convert to ascii
byte[] asciiBytes = Encoding.Convert(
Encoding.GetEncoding(37),
Encoding.ASCII,
ebcdicBytes);

Encoding source = Encoding.GetEncoding(37)'///EBCDIC encoding.
Encoding path = Encoding.ASCII
Byte[] b = ebcdicBytes
Byte[] aB = Encoding.Convert(source, path, b)

Console.WriteLine(path.GetString(aB))
