Worries me to think about considering codepage at every turn of the way. Perhaps I should set the terminal emulator's codepage to match z/OS's, which would be 1047, instead of the current default (1146)? I see only "1047 Open Edition" as an available code page in HOD. – Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Tony Harminc Sent: 06 September 2018 17:27 To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Co:Z question On 6 September 2018 at 09:13, Sankaranarayanan, Vignesh <[email protected]> wrote: > On mainframe, a dataset has £ (the pound symbol) in multiple records. > I'm transferring to a RHEL box with lzopts="mode=text". > The £ shows up as a $. > > I ran the COZ job with the following in the first //SFTPIN input: > export COZ_LOG="T,Translator=F" > > I see these relevant lines in the log: > ZosSettingsÝI¨: Transfer options: > clientcp=IBM-1047,mode=text,servercp=ISO8859-1,trim > TranslatorÝF¨: -> Translator(IBM-1047, ISO8859-1, , 0, > 0) Vignesh, Your data is probably not encoded in CP 1047, but more likely the UK CECP 285. CP 1047 has the dollar sign at 5B, the pound sterling sign at B1, and the cent sign at 4A. CP 285 has sterling at 5B, dollar at 4A, and cent at B0. But be careful - you are very likely to have a de facto mix of encodings in various data, depending on where it came from. Changing your translation from 1047 to 285 may break something else. (For example, your log lines quoted above show dodgy characters right after ZosSettings and Translator. What characters do you see there when you look at them on z/OS? Are they perhaps square brackets?)
