Translate EBCDIC to ASCII

Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $E2A function is the EbcdicToAscii (String function). 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

<section begin="syntax" />%ASCII = $E2A(ebcdic_val) <section end="syntax" />

%result is set to the EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation of ebcdic_val.


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.

$E2A is available only in Sirius Mods Version 6.8 and later.
