That would be useful these days in COBOL or PL/I as well. However a sample will look like this (1208 is a Unicode codepage): #pragma convert(1208) const char[]=ISO8859-1("This is an ISO8850-1 encoded string"); #pragma convert(pop) I have not tried it with #pragma convert("ISO8859-1"), but according to the C compiler docs this should work. Does it work with the very popular UTF-8? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
