Phil/Gil: Correct, sorry been a week, CP285 is a UK EBCDIC codepage. But my question still stands ...
1. PC/Linux -> sends ascii encrypted data to IBM z/OS , like I mentioned a STC in Cobol 2. The STC decrypts and then converts to EBCDIC... My issue is CAN i query a codepage or CCSID on z/OS to find out what the customer is using without a parameter of some sort.
