converting ebcdic to ascii

[Camron]

I need a program to convert my text from ebcdic to ascii. Is there any tutorial or code out there that will help me do this?

[BlackDice]

here's a function I used before: However, mine returns it as a string, so you'll have to do any other conversion on it yourself

CString EBCDICToDecimal(CString strValue)
{
        CString chr;
        char cEnd;
        int nLength = strValue.GetLength();
        cEnd = strValue[nLength - 1];
        chr = "";
        if((cEnd >= 65) && (cEnd <= 73)) cEnd -= 16;
        if(cEnd == 123) cEnd = 48;
        if(cEnd == 125)
        {
                chr = "-";
                cEnd = 48;
        }
        if((cEnd >= 74) && (cEnd <= 82))
        {
                chr = "-";
                cEnd -= 25;
        }
        strValue = chr + strValue.Left(strValue.GetLength() - 1) + cEnd;
        return strValue;
}
