If you have the RPG ToolKit (www.rpgiv.com/toolkit) you can use the
TOEBCDIC() procedure to do that. If not, the way TOEBCDIC() works is by
simply calling QDCXLATE API and passing it the proper translation table
out of QUSRSYS and I think there's been threads on this so check the
archives.

Subject: ASCII to EBCDIC


Is there any way in an RPG program to translate a record from a flat
file from ASCII to EBCDIC format?

I have a situation where I am reading a flat file that for some unknown
reason contains both ASCII lines and EBCDIC lines. I can tell which are
the ASCII lines because the all have the same hex value in the last
byte. I thought of using something like the XLATE function but got stuck
on how to pull in the translation table.

Can anyone offer me some suggestions?

TIA

Joe Giusto
