If you store content in EBCDIC, it is retrieved in EBCDIC and if you store content in ASCII it is retrieved in ASCII, regardless of which platform you do the storing and retrieving on. I wonder if this is the right approach. Perhaps the zOS patch should be amended to simply transform EBCDIC->ASCII on input and ASCII->EBCDIC on output. > I haven't looked closely enough at > the code to see if the big-endian (z/OS) vs. little-endian (Intel) > storage of integers would also be a problem. > > We do cross-platform database portability tests between x86, sparc, and PPC, to verify that big-endian vs little-endian is not a factor. -- D.
