| | EBCDIC, ASCII and Numbers |
 | | EBCDIC and ASCII are both ways of mapping computer codes to characters and numbers, as well as other symbols typically used in writing. | | | EBCDIC and ASCII are very common terms used when describing files, but when numeric fields are involved conversion is not straightforward. | | | Numbers can be stored in many ways on a computer. |

| | PHP Help: The Apache EBCDIC Port - Apache 1.3 Manual |
| | EBCDIC stands for Extended Binary-Coded-Decimal Interchange Code and is the codeset used on mainframe machines, in contrast to ASCII which is ubiquitous on almost all micro computers today. | | | On an EBCDIC based system, HTML files and other text files are usually saved encoded in the native EBCDIC code set, while image files and other binary data are stored with identical encoding as on ASCII based machines. | | | All header processing is done in the native EBCDIC format; the server then determines, based on the type of document being served, whether the document body (except for the chunking information, of course) is in ASCII already or must be converted from EBCDIC. |

| | Perl and EBCDIC? - The Perl Journal, Winter 1997 |
| | EBCDIC is of special interest to me because I work on an IBM OS/390 computer running OpenEdition, which internally uses EBCDIC.(The OpenEdition environment has been described as Unix on a mainframe; MVS OpenEdition comes with a POSIX shell, an ANSI C/C++ library and compilers, Berkeley style sockets, a hierarchical file system, and a web server. | | | Both ASCII (particularly "8-bit" ASCII) and EBCDIC can be "internationalized" so that computers can adopt a variation specific to the local language: ñ for Spanish computers, ö; for German computers, and so on. | | | Although the American Standard Association adopted ASCII in 1964, IBM chose to stick with EBCDIC in their System/360 computers, simply because it had been in use in all prior IBM computers and was a legacy of Hollerith's punch cards. |

| | Section 5. IBM AND EBCDIC |
| | EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) was a further development of older codes like BCDIC, BCD and back to Hollerith. | | | Should one use the numerical value of a byte as the base of a collating sequence, then the letters precede the digits, and the small letters the capital letters. | | | Around 1965 IBM announced a new computer series, that became known as System 360. |

| | EBCDIC |
| | If you are to give the EBCDIC for a two digit number, for example 27, you would have to hit two keys on the keyboard to enter 27 into the computer. | | | There must be four bits used for both the zone and the digit, so the 8, 4, and 2 positions all have a zero in them. | | | The letter N is in the 1101 zone and 0101 digit, so the EBCDIC for N would be 1101 0101. |

| | ASCII and EBCDIC compared - Dynamoo.com |
| | The character encoding is based on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), so the contiguous characters in the alphanumeric range are formed up in blocks of up to 10 from 0000 binary to 1001 binary. | | | This can cause a problem even if the EBCDIC system is only a mail relay. | | | Unlike virtually every computer system in the world which uses a variant of ASCII, IBM mainframes and midrange systems such as the AS/400 tend to use a wholly incompatible character set primarily designed for ease of use on punched cards. |

| | EBCDIC, IBM's Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code, is one of the widely used 8-bit industry encodings. | | | The remaining 96 bytes of EBCDIC 8-bit structure are allocated to X'A0' to X'FF' -- the trailing bytes and leading bytes of the I8-sequence.(from | | | Since EBCDIC code page definitions have 13 variants (and only 82 invariants) the choice of the above byte map for the graphic characters has been made to accommodate the MVS Open Systems environment for standardization purposes. |

| | Packed decimal numbers can be easily read in a hex memory dump without the need to convert the number from binary to base 10 because the packed decimal number is stored as a base 10 number. | | | Packed decimal is a method of storing integers on IBM mainframes in a format that stores the number using an odd number of base 10 digits and a final sign character. | | | There are instructions to convert packed decimal numbers to binary, and to convert packed decimal numbers to human readable EBCDIC numbers which is the default character set on IBM mainframes. |

| | However, when transferring data to or from IBM systems you will often encounter data that is in EBCDIC. | | | Below are the commands to copy from an IBM tape to an ASCII disc file, converting EBCDIC fields in columns 3 through 7 (first byte is 1) and columns 14 through 27, then convert it back again. | | | On HP-UX, you can write a program to call HP's nltranslate routine to translate ASCII arrays to EBCDIC, or use the dd program. |

| | EBCDIC to ASCII and ASCII to EBCDIC Conversion Charts |
| | In addition to converting text from EBCDIC to ASCII, any binary, packed or BCD numeric fields may need to be reformatted to text-type numeric fields for the PC. | | | If your records do contain such non-text data, then you can not use the file transfer program to perform the conversion. | | | If the record contains any non-text fields (such as binary numeric fields, packed numeric fields, hex or packed date fields, or bit fields), the bytes in those fields cannot simply be "translated" from EBCDIC to ASCII. |

| | As you might guess the two thorniest issues over the IBM Code Page 37 was the square brackets and the logical not. | | | After much debate we decided it made no sense to do cross graphics mapping and decided to go with a graphic to graphic mapping. | | | Thus many applications that used the logical not as an input character had to be changed to accept the EBCDIC tilde (we had previously mapped EBCDIC logical nots to ASCII tildes). |
