Bill,

Sorry I haven't been able to respond sooner in more detail. I think our confusion (at least mine, anyway) stems from the fact that z/OS handles ASCII and UNICODE already. If you transfer your ASCII and UNICODE files BINARY to z/OS, they'll display just like they do on Windows, Unix, or whatever server platform they came from. ISPF BROWSE and EDIT can handle the data just fine. If you tag it with the correct CCSID in the USS filesystem on z/OS, ISPF will handle the data AUTOMATICALLY. Otherwise, you have to tell ISPF what format to use. If your issue is with conversion to-from EBCDIC, then you have to use the TCPIP translation table support, or UNICODE conversion services. I read the link you posted, but without understanding which application you're having an issue with, we don't know how to help you.

Regards,
Tom Conley
