Andrew thank you. I agree on your point about keeping decompression and text conversion separate. The kind of full text conversion which unterse may perform only applies to text only files. Also for this limited use case, properly managing mainframe code pages is impossible as the terse cont

How about a parameter to specify the code page conversions? Or can the output be an XMIT file so an XMIT viewer be used? On Sun, Mar 14, 2021 at 9:02 AM Mario Bezzi wrote: > > Andrew thank you. > > I agree on your point about keeping decompression and text conversion > separate. > > The kind of f

I love programming as it gives me the illusion that almost everything is possible. So yes, we may add code to perform text conversion using multiple code pages, or generate the output in XMIT format. The only question I have is: Would this help us pay the bills? :-) Thank you, mario On 3/14/

Leaving it in EBCDIC leaves the user responsible for properly interpreting the data. I. E. they may not be using the American Code page IBM-037? / 1047? And even if using one of those pages for MOST files, some language compilers require their OWN Code page (PL/1, C, APL) due to required characters
