Problem:

Customer wanted to know if there is any Server Express command-line tool to convert EBCDIC files to ASCII.

Resolution:

Server Express does not have a command-line utility to convert ASCII and EBCDIC. This is of course often an issue for customers with existing applications on mainframes. In this case it's often true that they can convert files using the file transfer software on a mainframe, or alternatively they purchase Mainframe Express which does let you do this at the command line.

It is of course possible to convert between EBCDIC and ASCII using the CHARSET compiler directive.
