Well, I have <xsl:output encoding> set to utf-8 right now. If I set
it to EBCDIC, then the rest of the content in the XML converts to
gibberish.
Which is expected, if you view an EBCDIC-encoded XML file with
an application that assumes ASCII-based encoding. Try to upload
the resulting file using FTP /binary/ mode to the mainframe and
check if the file is still unreadable /there./
(Alternatively, or perhaps complementarily, use an
EBCDIC-capable application to view the resulting file locally.)
Thats what I meant.
I only need the special characters -esp. Latin-1 characters like the
plusminus sign, to convert to the right EBCDIC code.
I have a java program that FTPs the file; I believe the default is
ASCII.
There /may/ be a problem if /either/ this program or the FTP
server assume that the input is ASCII, because the characters
such as PLUS-MINUS SIGN are /not/ representable in ASCII.
One solution is to configure either the FTP client or FTP server
to /correctly/ convert UTF-8 to EBCDIC. The other is to
configure the XSLT implementation (with <xsl:output />) to
output EBCDIC, and send the result to the target host /without/
any encoding conversion (i. e., using FTP binary mode.)
