1208 in the sample is actually UTF-8. Limitations are in the manuals. Sent from AOL Mobile Mail

That would be useful these days in COBOL or PL/I as well. However a sample will look like this (1208 is a Unicode codepage): #pragma convert(1208) const char[]=ISO8859-1("This is an ISO8850-1 encoded string"); #pragma convert(pop) I have not tried it with #pragma convert("ISO8859-1"), but according to the C compiler docs this should work. Does it work with the very popular UTF-8? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to <a href="mailto:lists...@listserv.ua.edu";>lists...@listserv.ua.edu</a> with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN </tt></pre> <!-- end of AOLMsgPart_1_30567942-9b08-41d7-b5bc-fc8502fedf41 --> </div> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
