Glad you got it solved, but you have a lot of old-fashioned and

Old-fashioned, I'll give you. After all, I do spend my Saturdays running
(among other antiques) Linotype machines (were you aware that Ottmar
Mergenthaler was using binary codes to sort matrices back into the
magazine, in an era when a "digital computer" was a guy counting on his
fingers?). And I not only *use* (albeit often in very unconventional
ways), but *advocate for the use of* The RPG Cycle. And I still think
IBM would have done better to just implement an ILE PL/I compiler, than
to go to the expense of making RPG accept source that "looks kind of
like PL/I."
But what's the "unnecessary" part? My iconv call is based very closely
on Carsten Flensburg's example code from 2000. If there's a way to
simplify it, I'm all ears.
