convert ansi encoded text to utf-8

M carmen De paz 10 months ago

Hi, we works with Visual Cobol runing in UNIX servers and our BBDD use UTF-8 encodig.

Now we are starting to transfer informatión with other companies using API´s.

The problem we have in this moment is that we recive the information ANSI encode and we need convert it to UTF-8 encode.

is there some way to do this in cobol?

I assume you are probably running in traditional Native code (compiled/generated machine code, but I will just ask if you are by chance using COBOL/JVM instead? (COBOL compiled to Java Byte code and running under JVM)

I have found this function in the documentation

CBL_STRING_CONVERT

I think that it can be the way to do the conversion,

But if there is any other way to do it we would love to know about it.
