Crude solutions if you can't find another... 1, FTP the data from the EBCDIC maching to the ASCII machine. That will handle it 'automagically' 2. There simply has to be somewhere available free for the download some kind of "ASCII to EBCDIC" command line utilty program ... C:\DOS> Ebd2ASC.exe ebcdic_file ascii_file (come to think of it... I think I posted one of those many years ago myself. Let me check my website real quick... well, how about that: http://www.talsystems.com/tsihome_html/techcorner.html 3. (Emergency only) Ask the mainframe people to handle the character conversions on their side. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc. Racine WI [email protected] ------------------------------------ ...
