Dear All,

I am using TXT2PDF to create a PDF file. But I am facing a problem '@' in email id is getting converted into some strange character'§' in pdf file.

How can I get '@' correctly in PDF file created by TXT2PDF?

Thanks
Vipul

Are there not many programs of this name?
Do not the great majority of them run on toy computers?
What is this alleged to have to do with JCL and/or VSAM?

I am using JCL

//TXT2PDF EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01

....

%TXT2PDF9 IN.....

Still nothing to do with JCL. JCL is just a vehicle, along with TSO (IKJEFT01), to excute your program whic is probably called TXT2PDF. This program will have documentation: have you consulted it?

Moving to somewhere more appropriate.

I have nearly forty years of experience in IT. Therefore, I am able to take the few bytes of information that you bothered to provide and make a SWAG that this is Lionel Dyck's TXT2PDF V9. Have you consulted the User's Guide?

Well, as I see it you have three choices:

You can appeal to the developers for help.
You can have someone competent in your shop debug it (and how come a developer with at least ten years of experience doesn't know where to start?)
You can hire one of the senpai on this board. I charge Rs. 6,000/hr, one hour per day minimum. PM me for details. Other senpai may beat that; ask for RFPs.
