	The <var>$E2A</var> function returns a string ~~which~~ is the ASCII equivalent of the (presumed) EBCDIC input string. <var>$E2A</var> is ~~longString~~ capable, that is, it can receive an input ~~longstring~~ and will produce an output ~~longstring~~.		The <var>$E2A</var> function returns a string that is the ASCII equivalent of the (presumed) EBCDIC input string. <var>$E2A</var> is [[Longstrings\|Longstring]] capable, that is, it can receive an input Longstring and will produce an output Longstring.

	~~$E2A accepts one required argument and returns a string value.~~

	~~The first argument is the string to be translated from EBCDIC to ASCII.~~

	~~The returned result is a string which is the ASCII equivalent of the (presumed) EBCDIC input string.~~

			<li>The <var>[[$Ascii]]</var> function provides the same type of translation as <var>$E2A</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>
