Re: does qtmhWrStout convert from ebcdic to ascii?

No it doesn't, but Apache will usually convert it depending on the CGIConvMode setting.
We always use "CGIConvMode BINARY" so we have complete control over what is, and is not, converted prior to delivery to the browser.

Subject: [WEB400] does qtmhWrStout convert from ebcdic to ascii?

Does the QtmhWrStout api convert the data passed to it from ebcdic to ascii?

I ask because I am trying to send excel xml formatted data as an attachment to the browser and the results are gibberish when opened in excel.

I am sending different variations of Content-type and Content-disposition followed by two X'15' line feeds.
wrtDta = 'Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel' +
newLine +
'Content-disposition: ' +
'attachment; filename=test.xls' + newLine +
newLine ;
pr_qtmhwrstout( wrtdta: %len(wrtdta): wperror ) ;

another version of the content-type I tried:
wrtDta = 'Content-type: application/' +
'vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet' +
newLine +
'Content-disposition: ' +
'attachment; filename=test.xls' + newLine +
newLine ;

then I send the excel xml formatted data: Where each line ends with x'15' . So far I have written the following text to qtmhwrstout as ebcdic and then as ascii. Both times excel shows garbage.
