Re: [xsl] Representing EBCDIC code 37 in xslt

Hi Michael:

Thanks for your quick response. I did mention that I tried utf-8 and
iso-8859-1 encoding. I cannot set the whole encoding to EBCDIC since
that will change all the other text to gibberish.

Sorry for stating the obvious, but you didn't say what output encoding you
have.  Have you tried

<xsl:output method="text" encoding="ebcdic" />


?

Hello:

I have an issue with representing EBCDIC code 37 in XSLT. I am
converting an XML file to a flat file and ftping from unix to
mainframe. I am not sure where to start debugging this issue. Here is
the issue:

I have latin-1 special characters like the plusminus sign, the
registered trademark, fraction one half that I need to convert to
EBCDIC code 37 values. I am using xslt 2.0. So I have an output
character map defined for these special characters. So I have:

<xsl:output-character character="®" string="&#175;"/>

As you can see from my example, I have tried the exact EBCDIC value.
When this converts into a text file which is what I am doing, I get
this strange gibberish character in the output -®.


But when I view it on the mainframe server, it is converted to a period(.)

I have tried using encoding in utf-8 and iso-8859-1. Nothing works.

Is there anything I can do in XSLT 2.0 to convert these characters
into the right format that mainframe accepts?

Any tips?

Thanks.
