COBOL (zOS) and Unicode
|
|
| Bertram 2005-02-10, 3:55 am |
| Is there a possibility to convert the e.g. html-notation of unicode like
〹 to a "normal" cobol structure like PIC N(...) and can COBOL convert
it back?
Whow does COBOL store data in PIC N if the unicode needs more than 2 bytes?

You can look at Function Char - strip off the &#, and it'll give you the
character. I'm not sure how high up those codes go, though, and whether
it only supports ASCII output, or Unicode. It would be where I would
start, though. :)
