Translate EBCDIC to ASCII
Note: Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $E2A function is EbcdicToAscii. For a full list of string and numeric conversion functions see List of String methods and List of Float methods.
The $E2A function returns a string which is the ASCII equivalent of the (presumed) EBCDIC input string. $E2A is 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.
Syntax
%ascii = $E2A(ebcdic_val)
%ascii is set to the EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation of ebcdic_val.
Usage notes
The inverse of $E2A is $A2E.
$E2A uses the "standard" EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation tables provided by Sirius, and it provides no mechanism for overriding these tables.
