Any data that should not be translated should be attached in Binary format. Possibly: iconv -f IBM-420 -t UTF-8 Then transmit as BINary. You might yet be frustrated because IBM mainframes (I believe) store Arabic, etc. text backwards. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
