Re: Java and Base64 -- RPG400-L

I've already answered this question. When you return a string from the Java runtime to RPG, it will be translated from ASCII to EBCDIC. The data that you're returning isn't text, and therefore translating it will corrupt it.

I'm trying to use the following procedure to decode a BASE64 string.
Actually a profile token passed from a web application. The program
functions fine, but the token is coming back invalid. Any idea what I'm
doing wrong.

      p_inputArray = %addr(inputString) + 2;

      return outputString;
