_a2e_max, _e2a_max, - Convert from ASCII to EBCDIC and EBCDIC to ASCII

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Definition

#include <ascii_ebcdic.h>

char*_a2e_max (char* z, size_t n);

char*_e2a_max (char* z, size_t n);

The functions _a2e_max and _e2a_max 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];

Parameters

char* z

String in ASCII or EBCDIC encoding to be converted

size_t n

Maximum number of characters (left-aligned) to be converted in z

Return val.

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