toascii - Convert an integer value to a valid EBCDIC value

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Definition   

#include <ctype.h>

int toascii(int i);

toascii uses the bitwise AND operator (i & 0XFF) to set the first 3 bytes of an integer variable i to 0 and returns the value of the least significant byte.

toascii is a synonym for toebcdic. On EBCDIC computers, toascii returns a legal value from the EBCDIC character set. If portability to ASCII computers is essential, toascii should be used.

Return val.

Value of the least significant byte of the variable i.

Notes

toascii does not convert values from other character sets (e.g. ASCII on EBCDIC computers).
