Vinay,
Those are "control characters" -- specifically:
dec hex abbr description
== == == ==============
28 1C FS File Separator
29 1D GS Group Separator
30 1E RS Record Separator
31 1F US Unit Separator
These control characters have the same values in ASCII and EBCDIC, for data "interchange" purposes.
(In EBCDIC, they are called IFS, IGS, IRS and IUS, respectively, for "Interchange File Separator", "Interchange Group Separator", etc.)
But, why do those characters appear in your data? It might indicate that data was not processed correctly at some earlier stage -- perhaps there should be more separate records, or separate files, etc.?
Something to consider.
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury

Hi,
I am using YAJLDTAGEN generator to generate JSON string in RPG.
My data has some control characters like x'1C', x'1D' and x'1E' embedded
within other printable characters.
The final JSON string has some other characters instead of my control
characters.
x'1C' is converted to '\u001C' (hex equivalent x'E0A4F0F0F1C3').
x'1E' is converted to '\u001E' (hex equivalent x'E0A4F0F0F1C5').
Is there any way this can be avoided? I want my data to be unchanged in the
JSON string.
TIA
