I think the EBCDIC support is largely theoretical and not tested on any actual EBCDIC host (or target). cpplib knows the character set name UTF-EBCDIC, but whenever it does anything internally that involves the encoding of its internal character set it uses UTF-8 rules (which is not something valid to do with UTF-EBCDIC). -- Joseph S.
