Scott,

No. What you said is the getBytes method of the String class translates
ASCII to EBCDIC. I'm not using that. Thanks for clarifying it for me.

Thanks,

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.
