Hi All,
I am using the below code to convert my input data in UTF-8 format to EBCDIC.
| Code: |
MOVE FUNCTION DISPLAY-OF (FUNCTION NATIONAL-OF
(UTF8-VARIABLE , 1208), 500)
TO EBCDIC-VARIABLE |
It works fine for most of the input UTF-8 Characters. But the above piece of code does not convert X'E2809C' and X'E2809D' which actually should be opening and closing quotes in EBCDIC.
Could you please let me know, what could be the reason?
Is the compiler option correct? Or do I need to change the compiler option? |

| In looking at the EBCDIC 500 character set, I do not see either of the characters you're having problems with. Perhaps the problem is that there's nothing to convert them to? |

it is never the code,
it is always something else.
as robert said, insure that you are using the correct code page in
your line of code
which has nothing to do with the compiler or options |

Good day to all!
Your system doesn't have code pages 1005 & 1156 in the graphic table definitions because 'E2809C' and 'E2809D' are in these code pages. |

Hi..
I have few set of UTF8 characters -
X'E28093' - represents a hyphen
X'E28099' - represents an apostrophe
X'E2809C' - represents opening double inverted commas
X'E2809D' - represents closing double inverted commas
X'E282AC' - represents Euro sign.
Whenever this set of input is given, I get X'3F' in the output,
but I would like it to get converted to a valid set of EBCDIC characters.
Can you please let me know what could be wrong? |

| For the meaning of CODE PAGE within a Cobol program, you should find sufficient explanations in the Language Reference and Programming Guide. You'll get it better if you do the reading yourself. If still unclear, explain what you understand, and what you don't. |
