RE: Data translation question

[Paul Jackson <pjackson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bob,

I was contemplating the iconv() api's also. Do you happen to have example
usage of these api's? (we don't have xTools)

Thanks

If you have the RPG xTools, you can use the xLateCCSID subprocedure to "just
do it". If not, you can call a number of different APIs to do the conversion
for you. The one xlateCCSID uses under the covers is iconv().

I am calling API QSYRUSRI to get the user profile Home Directory, but the
structure that the info comes back into has the directory name formatted as
CCSID 1200.

I am looking at various API's but am wondering what the consensus seems to
be regarding the best way to translate this data back into human readable
form.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Paul
