I think you need to look at the file in a hex editor and see what the actual
bits are. This doesn't look very plausible to me as an EBCDIC-to-ASCII
conversion problem, but seeing the hex values will quickly confirm it one
way or the other.

Subject: [xsl] Unparsed-text and character conversion
Greetings,
I am having a problem with the unparsed-text function.
Here is my code:
<xsl:variable name="input-text" as="xs:string"
select="unparsed-text($input, 'iso-8859-1')"/>
My input file has a value in it of "000060-"
My stylesheet is converting this to "6.60"
The real decimal value is supposed to be a "-6.00".
My hypothesis is the hyphen is the EBCDIC character which has the hex
equivalent of "60". Oh, and did I mention this file is from
an AS/400 ?
My question is how can I read this value without the
character converting it
to the 60?
There is a bonus prize is someone can not only tell me how to
read it as
6.00, but also determine the negative value within a stylesheet.
Thank you much, in advance,
Jim neff
