I'll qualify, x'ac' is an extended ascii for logical not http://www.ascii-code.com/
In any case, I expect circumflex (x'5e') to translate into logical not or circumflex, not to the meaningless comma (x'6b'), which is unfortunately what I get. It seems that there are at least two flavors of the conversion while ftping. One translates logical not correctly to either circumflex or to logical not (which I can deal with easily). The other flavor of ftp conversion, prefers to translate it to comma. According to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pcomhelp/v5r9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.pcomm.doc/reference/html/hcp_reference27.htm In IBM-1047 x'b0' is logical not, x'5f' is circumflex, and x'6b' is comma in IBM-037 x'b0' is circumflex, x'5f' is logical not, and x'6b' is comma Ze'ev Atlas ________________________________ From: zatlas1 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 8, 2012 10:29 PM Subject: Re: How to load logical load x'ac' X'ac' is a valid code za Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless -----Original message----- From: "Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, Dec 9, 2012 02:09:48 GMT+00:00 Subject: Re: How to load logical load x'ac' In <[email protected]>, on 12/07/2012 at 07:37 AM, "Ze'ev Atlas" <[email protected]> said: >I edit my sourcecode base in ASCII (where it comes from) and I >replace the circumflex (^) that C loves with logical not (x'AC' in >ASCII) There is no ¬ in ASCII and 'AC'X is not a valid ASCII code point. >How could I convince all flavors of EBCDIC and EBCDIC upload to >recognize logical not correctly? Whoever is doing the uploading must be code-page aware. If you're uploading your source code to z/OS Unix files then you can use chtag to tag them with the proper character code set. Of course, tagging won't help if you're doing something that doesn't honor the tags. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT Atid/2 <http://patriot.net/~shmuel> We don't care.
