Re: Translating ASCII x'5E' to EBCDIC ^

ASCII is a whole family of character encodings, it is not just one. Likewise, EBCDIC is a whole family... There is many different EBCDICs, and the caret symbol is NOT the same in all of them.

Use CCSIDs.

Hi folks -

I'm translating ASCII to EBCDIC from data receiving in a socket call. I'm
getting an ASCII '5E' which is the '^' symbol. I need to translate it to
EBCDIC and have the same character. All the other translation works fine,
but this is translating to the logical not symbol '¬', which is an EBCDIC
x'5F'.

I can't find the '^' symbol in any translation EBCDIC charts. How could I
do this? I plan to do it in RPG with a scan/replace of hex characters.

Thanks!
