Re: call ILE pgm from PASE

[Calvin Buckley <calvin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Those headers are ASCII text for me. I'd suspect the CCSID of your
source file before that; try using iconv to convert it. (PASE programs
don't care about the CCSID attribute; they just want ASCII/UTF-8 text.)
Alternatively, just save it using means you know will result in non-
EBCDIC text; EDTF is a gigantic footgun.
