The ASCII message created is used as input in the next map to create the output in UTF8 format. The issue is, all the character in binary data language are getting converted properly except few special character (Ex: '@', '.'). When the consumer application tries to decode the special character data they are getting improper data for the special characters '@', '.'. Please advise what is the data type we need to set when converting string in Binary format to ASCII so that even special character get converted properly.

ASCII '@' is hex character '40'.

EBCDIC '@' is hex character '7C'.

Using Typetree objects Latin1 and IBM1047 translates this correctly.

Thank-you.
