HI

How can I translate Unicoded-Rows to EBCDIC in a REXX-PGM ?

Greetings

Zefrim

well, the IBM pub-library is timing out, and this is your project anyway. suggest that you start with SA22-7649- this is the z/os UNICODE CONVERSION services.

Sorry Dick, but your posts don't make any sense to me. Could you elaborate on your statements a bit more, since this topic interests me as well very much?

with many thanks
Christian

why don't you bother to read some documentation? Start with something simple like the UPPER function; there are somany dependencies - column definition to start - that there is no simple answer.

What does not make sense to me is that you expect me to elaborate instead of doing some research on your own.

Sorry if you think this board is to do your job. I will only provide links to documentation . If the subject is 'simple' and can easily be explained, I do so. This isn't one of them.

I apologize for my earlier diatribe, and my assumptions.

what did you not understand?

read about conversion services in SA22-7649- z/os UNICODE CONVERSION services.
or
read about the DB2 UPPER function?

I know that the original poster mentioned REXX; you can invoke SQL from REXX and the conversion services document will explain about code pages, localization, etc...
