Hi Bradley,

That looks like some sort of EBCDIC double byte sequence, x'0e' being shift out (of single byte) then a single double byte character x'e0d2' then shift in (to single byte) x'0f'.

What is the CCSID of the PF (& field if applicable) ?

What is the job CCSID? Job default CCSID?

What is the CCSID of the stream file?

Regards,

Kevin Wright

Subject: Conversion issue on degree symbol


Hello, all! I posted this on the RPG board but I think it will get
more exposure here and isn't necisarily RPG only related.

I'm having an issue where a PF contains a degree symbol (ebcdic hex 90
code page 37) and when trying to write data to a stream file that
includes this symbol it seems to be mucking it up big time.

All the xlation tables I've seen for 819, 1252, etc seem to state it
should be converted to ASCII hex B0, but it looks like it's converting
it to hex'0E E0 D2 0F'

So,



gets converted to

N àÒ

I found a thread on another board with the same issue with no
resolution.

The conversion is being done with the stream file APIs using
O_CODEPAGE for the conversion.

Anyone ran into this before? Or have any ideas?
