_a2e_max, _e2a_max - Convert from ASCII to EBCDIC and EBCDIC to ASCII (BS2000)

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Syntax

#include <ascii_ebcdic.h>

char*_a2e_max (char* z);

char*_e2a_max (char* z);

Description

These functions convert the string z passed as a parameter with a maximum length of n from ASCII to EBCDIC or vice versa. If z contains a NULL character at a position < n, the conversion is terminated. The conversion takes place on the spot with the help of conversion tables. The corresponding data areas thus have to be writable.
The conversion tables are declared as follows:
unsigned char _a2e_tab[256];
unsigned char _e2a_tab[256];

Return val.

The string z passed as a parameter, after its conversion to EBCDIC or ASCII code.
