We are using EZACICTR..we build a message inside our STC and convert EBCDIC data to ASCII data based on a Parm, I.e.; codepage=uk ...uk is in side the EZACICTR the entry is selected data converted, then encrypted and a socket-write issued to a Java server. Part of our message build for example maybe create a list of RACF userids, at the very end we add a '~' to tell the Java server that's the end of data. We have done used the COBOL codepage 1140 for EBCDIC data..the Java server is using codepage 437. All characters are good no problems. Using a different EBCDIC codepage from EZACICTR yields a tilde on z/OS but not on the Java server..hence the problem..
Any ideas ?
