Hi Noel
 
That's exactly the problem. The ebcdic > ascii conversion is suspect. I'm going to get the responsible guys to sort out the translation tables.
 
Base64ing the text simply hides the problem and adds complexity so I don't think I'll go that route.
 
Thaks for the input.

Hi

Character 26 is CTRL-Z, so it's not a normal ascii character.

Are you sure there is not something weird happening in the mainframe's EBCDIC->ASCII conversion?
You should not be seeing characters like this.

Otherwise you are dealing with binary data, in which case you will need to base-64 encode it.
