Subject: Attempting to write to IFS andmissing turkish characters

I am attempting to write/create a txt file directly into the IFS the file contains Turkish characters



I have a copy of Scotts great and very helpful IFS eBook (Thank you very much Scott)



This file contains turkish characters such as ÜŞ

It appears using code 1026 these characters are Hex 7F and Hex 7C



For my test I did the following:

1) Modified Scotts program CH5ASCII that creates and writes some simple text to a text file

2) Changed the code that creates a new file to specify code page 1026 rather than 819

3) Output some text including a Hex 7F7C



Runs fine, but when the file is opened from the 400 (EDTF) I see a “@ I was expecting to see ÜŞ

When I open it with Notepad I see jibberish Ä…™@Ö¤¢‰•k%%É@“–¥…@£ˆ…@¦



Obviously there is something I am missing



Anybody know what I am doing wrong?



Thanks



John
