I am getting questioned on the mapping of ASCII to EBCDIC characters between
UNIX and OS/390 under MQ.
The character sets (CCSIDs) being used are: UNIX (1051) and OS/390 (037). I
tried to find a document that would just show the code character set
mappings character by character but I could not find one. I attempted to
use iconv command in UNIX to show the character mappings implicitly but I am
not sure of what the 1051 or 037 character set is equivalent to in the
iconv.config.
I tried the following as a best guess using iconv command under UNIX just to
see what happens:
/usr/bin/iconv -f iso81 -t cp037 character.file > characters.cp037
I then FTP'd characters.cp037 over to OS/390 for a look see. It was close
but no cigar.
Could someone tell me what 1051 & 037 is equivalent to in the iconv.config
file?
Is this how others figure out how the conversion occurs between CCSIDs
across platforms?
Is there a better way to decipher CCSID translation that someone could
suggest?
Thanks
Frank
