PLIEBCDIC Subroutine

Purpose

Converts storage units (bytes) at a certain location from ASCII to EBCDIC at another location.

Syntax

PLIEBCDIC(a,b,c)

Parameters

a and b are expressions with type POINTER or OFFSET that stand for the two locations.

Description

c is an expression with computational type that represents the number of storage units.

The PLIEBCDIC subroutine converts storage units (bytes) at location b from ASCII to EBCDIC at location a. The storage at a and b must not overlap unless they specify the same location.

a and b are expressions with type POINTER or OFFSET that represent the two locations. If the type is OFFSET, the expression must be an OFFSET variable declared with the AREA attribute.

c is the number of storage units. It is an expression with computational type that is converted to FIXED BIN(31,0).

Restrictions

None.
