Re: simple node.js example from developer works

Thanks Brad,
I was using EDTF, with typing out the file and saving it as 37, and then
going back in and changing it to 819....

I found if I would first make the file as 819, then typing out the text...
it works great....

I got my hello world in my browser... now on to the next step....

THANKS SO MUCH...

Dont use CCSID 37 for IFS files. Use 1252, 1208 or 819.

37 is EBCDIC. Node is ASCII.
