>From the UNIX Systems Services Command Reference: " BPXFX311. Specifies an ASCII-EBCDIC conversion table to convert between code pages ISO8859-1 and IBM-1047." It doesn't matter what the official title of ISO 8859-1 is. For getting OCOPY to perform the desired conversion, it only matters that IBM uses it to mean to ASCII. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
