	The <var>$A2E</var> function returns a string ~~which~~ is the EBCDIC equivalent of the (presumed) ASCII input string. <var>$A2E</var> is ~~longstring~~ capable, that is, it can receive an input ~~longstring~~ and will produce an output ~~longstring~~.		The <var>$A2E</var> function returns a string that is the EBCDIC equivalent of the (presumed) ASCII input string. <var>$A2E</var> is [[Longstrings\|Longstring]] capable, that is, it can receive an input Longstring and will produce an output Longstring.

			<p class="syntax"><span class="term">%ebcdic</span> = <span class="literal">$A2E</span>(<span class="term">ascii_val</span>) </p>

	~~The first argument~~ is the ~~string to be translated from~~ ASCII to EBCDIC.		<table>
			<tr><th>%ebcdic</th>
			<td>A string that is the ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation of <var class="term">ascii_val</var>. </td></tr>

	The ~~returned result is a~~ string ~~which is the~~ EBCDIC ~~equivalent of the (presumed) ASCII input string~~.		<tr><th>ascii_val</th>

	~~The [[$Ebcdic\|$EBCDIC]] function provides the same translation as $A2E, but is only available if the FUNU module is linked in, and is also not longstring capable.~~		==Usage notes==

	~~==Usage notes==~~		<li>The <var>[[$Ebcdic]]</var> function provides the same type of translation as <var>$A2E</var>, but it is only available if the FUNU module is linked in, it does not use the Janus translation tables, and it is <em>not</em> Longstring capable. </li>
