My user raised this question. They are using our mainframe server with z-OS
(ZMF Changeman application). They referred me to that developerworks link I
posted in an earlier email on this thread. The question they raised, and I
quote "Is is possible to configure our M/F serned xxx.xxxxxxx.com to support
both non-ASCII and ASCII input.
Here is, again, the developerworks link they referenced:

Your question is way too general for a meaningful answer in a public email
forum. What more exactly are you trying to accomplish?
"What's the problem?"

To answer the question about what sort of portal, I would say all of the above.
I thought this was a somewhat general question as to whether or not z/OS will
support both non-ascii and ascii at the same time.

The most common input to mainframes is non-ASCII, that is, EBCDIC.
"Input" via what sort of portal? FTP? TSO? Tape? Web server? Keyboard?

Subject: Fw: z/OS with ASCII and Non-ASCII input
To list;
I am sending this question again as I do not recall receiving a response.
I recently received a request to produce a UNICODE table to allow zOS to accept
Non-ASCII input. Currently, the system recives ASCII input. Apparently there is
a scenario in IBM developer works to product this UNICODE table.
My question then, if I do this, will z/OS accept both ASCII and Non-ascii input?
Has anyone gone through this exercise?
Thank you in advance, Bill J.
