Of course, if you were using Java instead of RPG, you'd include the
wonderful Open Source htmlparser.jar and simply do this:

        out.write(Translate.encode(myOutput));

This would convert ALL non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the String myOutput
to their correct character entity references at one go (as opposed to
the multiple calls to #replaceData that you have to do).  But hey, why
use a power tool on a screw when you can bang it in with that big old
RPG hammer?
