Re: Re: EBCDIC & COMP-3 *shriek*

Thanks for all the replies monks. What I'm doing is translating a data dump from our clients mainframe. I can't get them to convert it...I'm by no means in a position of authority in this case. This IBM convert module may work. I REALLY hope it does. Thanks for all the great information.

Be very careful with that module. I have an example of where a client made the zipcode packed decimal. Convert::IBM390 loses leadind zeros. So, 02354 becomes 2354. Not what you want.	[reply]
