Frank, There is a WEB site at IBM where ALL the CCSIDs are displayed in table format with their binary code and character representation. I just tried to find it and could not. I have seen it supplied by members on the LIST. Maybe someone has it booked marked. I used it when I was having some conversion problems at a client. Maybe someone on the LISThas the link.
Other than that. If I remember correctly. Convert your SENDing CCSID to a hex value and your RECIEVing CCSID to a hex value. Find the table as SENDingHEXRECIEVingHEX.tbl on the system. The mainframe has it somewhere that is not easy to find.
The SENDing character is used as a displacement into the table and the character at that position is used as the replacement.
It has been a while so I HOPE I have this right. On the mainframe the TABLES are somewhere strange and are proceeded with an "A". Not exactly sure where they are.
Hope this helps.

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 201-269-4071
