incorect ECBDIC <-> ASCII conversation tables

[vmdave9]

Hello, all.
In the wrapperutils.c file, I believe that the EBCDIC <-> ASCII conversation tables are not quite right. Here is my "fixed" ones:

static unsigned char a2e[256] = {
0, 1, 2, 3, 55, 45, 46, 47, 22, 5, 37, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 60, 61, 50, 38, 24, 25, 63, 39, 28, 29, 30, 31,
64, 90, 127, 123, 91, 108, 80, 125, 77, 93, 92, 78, 107, 96, 75, 97,
// 64, 79, 127, 123, 91, 108, 80, 125, 77, 93, 92, 78, 107, 96, 75, 97,
240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 122, 94, 76, 126, 110, 111,

Hope this is of some help here.

Thanks for you information. Could you please share us the source link of the EBCDIC <-> ASCII conversation tables?

[bjhuangr]

Two examples:

• For a2e, according to https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/iis/11.7?topic=tables-ascii-ebcdic , a2e[21] should be 4F = 79
• For e2a, according to https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/iis/11.7?topic=tables-ebcdic-ascii, e2a[5A] should be 5D = 93

[vmdave9]

I started with this one:
http://www.3480-3590-data-conversion.com/article-ebcdic-ascii-table.html.
I have a simple Rexx exec here, running on CMS, that sends EBCDIC strings to a Linux guest here that then, in turn, displays the translated ASCII string using the a2e and e2a tables.
