Hi Brad,

Try to use the 0_CCSID flag instead of 0_CODEPAGE

d o_ccsId c const(32)

Hello, all!

I'm having an issue where a PF contains a degree symbol (ebcdic hex 90
code page 37) and when trying to write data to a stream file that
includes this symbol it seems to be mucking it up big time.

All the xlation tables I've seen for 819, 1252, etc seem to state it
should be converted to ASCII hex B0, but it looks like it's converting
it to hex'0E E0 D2 0F'

So,

N°

gets converted to

N àÒ

I found a thread on another board with the same issue with no resolution.

The conversion is being done with the stream file APIs using
O_CODEPAGE for the conversion.

Anyone ran into this before? Or have any ideas?
