btw

how do you define DBCS EBCDIC in SBCS ASCII ?

come on, everybody knows that javascript requires \uxxxx characters
to work properly if the text string is outside 7 bit ascII x'00'-x'7F'
that
btw are shared with UTF-8.

Node.js runs javascript that runs UTF-8 Unicode internally in every
object you make.

Of couse you cant take a chinese EBCDIC CCSID and convert it to
ASCII that dosn't support the special characters in the CCSID.

So if the PASE only has 8 bit ASCII as the itermediate interface
to PASE it is useless.

Okay, perhaps. Do you have a reference?

The PASE PDF explains that IBM's SQL CLI procedures call iconv() under the
covers to convert data streams from ASCII to EBCDIC and visa versa. If
node.js requires UTF-8, I suppose that would mean an additional conversion
step from ASCII to UTF-8 and visa versa.

The relevance of my last message was that the easiest bridge between PASE
and IBM i is via sending and receiving data streams (messages) via
inter-process communication rather than via program calls, which are
hampered by PASE and IBM i running in separate memory address spaces.
