Um. There are transforms for EBCDIC code pages to UTF-8 et al. But that's not *the* answer: there's no intrinsic association of data with a given EBCDIC code page, so "Just transform it" is a non-trivial exercise. Once you know what code page it is, it's (relatively) trivial, but you have to get to that point. And if you say "Well, it's all 1047", we already know that won't work, because at least some data may be expecting 037. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
