I want to thank both Vern and Simon for their response
I made another version of my program and changed the second version to use
iconv
I'm still having problems as far as the socket situation is concerned, but
I am waiting to hear from the other company so that I can ask him what
encoding the server interface expects/is
using before I can reliably convert the data.

If that table is not the correct one to use, how do I find out what
table I
should be using?
You'll need to know what encoding the server interface expects/is
using before you can reliably convert the data.
Use the iconv suite of APIs to convert the data. Don't bother with
QDCXLATE--consider it deprecated.
