Assuming that your EBCDIC is codepage 37
System.Text.Dec oder EBCDICDecoder =
System.Text.Enc oding.GetEncodi ng(37).GetDecod er();
Decoder.GetChar s will decode an EBCDIC byte array into a .NET string. From
there you can use the ASCII encoder to encode the .NET string into a byte
array as ASCII.
Other EBCDIC code pages are listed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...icode_81rn.asp

Some time ago, while doing a Win XP installation to resurrect a friend's
installation, I realized that you can actually choose which code pages are
to be installed. I don't remember if the EBCDIC CPs where on the default
list, so your code may still be useful ;-)

I need to write a string to a file in EBCDIC.
Do I need to do it character by character using a translation table,
or is there a function to translate the whole string?
(I am aware that I can convert a whole file using Unix utilities, but
this file will have only a few header records in EBCDIC)

Hi folks!
I am trying to convert EBCDIC file to ASCII file. the issues are
1) Can all EBCDIC file be converted to ASCII without loss of
information.(There is one character cent sign which is not in ASCII, how to
handle that?)
2)What about non printable characters in EBCDIC, do they all converted to
ASCII format?
Suggest some way.
Thanks n Regards

I have triedthe following code pages 20284, 20924, 1140, 37, 500 and 20127.By working I get the correct answer by taking the decimal valueand using that as an index to an array that will map to thecorrect EBCDIC value in hex.
By larger values, an example would be "AA" in EBCDIC hex wouldgive me the value of 63 in decimal (ASCII) when...

In the past I used a C-program to convert from EBCDIC (CP500)
to ASCII/Unicode. As you might guess, this is simply a 256-byte
lookup table. I lifted it from Larry Wall's perl source, to
be found here:

This worked very well. For some reason, the C# codec for

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
