Re: read ifs file in RPGLE, CCSID trouble

I have a stream file, that appears to be CCSID 819.
this is a EDI file, and I am having trouble with the end of record
character. in this case, when I look at the file in EDTF, the end of
line char is x'0A'...
however, it appears that when I read it in it has become a x'25' but I
am not sure... my problem may be made worse in that in debug, I may be
seeing my data as EBCDIC...

My open is:

Oflag = O_Rdonly + O_Textdata ;
File = %trim(DirName) + %trim(FileName) + NULL ;
Fp = open(%addr(File): Oflag:S_IRGRP:819) ;

What you're describing sounds normal to me. In CCSID 819, a line feed
is x'0a'. In CCSID 37 a line feed is x'25'. O_TEXTDATA does the
translation between CCSIDs - which you almost certainly want to do
unless you're storing ASCII characters in your DB2 tables.
