Hey there!

Does anyone knows how to compare the first letter of the pair on the blob?

I am trying to distinguish ebcdic from ascii.
I want this to be cpu friendly, so i will not convert the data do DFDL, at first i will filter out some messages based on the beginning of the data.

To do so, i want to detect the first letter, if start with F (F1, F2, ETC) i know that is ebcdic.
If starts with 31,32,33 i know that is ascii..

The problem is that did not succeeded making substring on blob in the first value. (X'F1')

Any clues?

Thanks
Pucci

It gets more complicated... You also need to make the distinction between
'F1' and 'F1' where there is in fact no 'F1' value

example x'6F1F' ...

you should really look at InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetID ...

Have fun

I want to just make an IF statement...

Code:

IF FIELD = 'f' THEN
--its ebcdic
ELSE
--its ascii
END IF;


But this does not work!

This looks like an IIB topic and not General.

Is there a reason you are resistant to fjb_saper's answer?

A simple IF to check if the CCSID is an EBCDIC one is the simple answer to this requirement.
