you define the character sets in the type tree. E.g. for the output tree, select the field you want to change and amend the "Data language" to one of the EBCDIC character sets.

i have the input,output xsd from which i have created a input,output type tree.currently it has all the fields data language as UTF-8 .so for the fields that i need them in my map generated output xml you want me to covert the datalanguage of these fields as EBCDIC(this applies only to output type tree since i am planning to convert from UTF-8 to EBCDIC). so that the generated xml will have them as EBCDIC.Is my understanding correct.

Thanks much

yes your understanding is correct. To speed up the process you can change the parent type and then propagate the setting down to the child types.
After changing the language, right-click on "Data language" and select propagate.

i do have to do a EBCDIC to ISO8859-1/UTF-8 conversion on the response.do i need to use any conversion functions that are present in the WTX .since by just marking the datalanguage of INPUT xsd to EBCDIC,and OUTPUT xsd to UTF-8 i am not getting the correct format of the data.the fields that are displayed in the output are not human readable.any thoughts on this?

thanks much

ISO8859-1 and UTF-8 are not the same - which do you want?

Only you know the format of your data - you'll need to work out the right character set based on the source application and OS.
Post your maps and data to the forum and I'll have a quick look, but you're more likely to be successful if you speak to your application team.

Hi Oliver,

I have the same scenario of converting the UTF-8 to EBCDIC,but since my input UTF-8 contains the japans characters when i try to convert it into EBCDIC ,the output truncates the japans character and fails at target side when i set the output type tree properties as Bytes and when i use as character it will was successful,i guess their is some bug in wtx8.2 if my understanding is correct ?
