We are getting the characters like this in request string :

As per my understanding, these characters seems to be double byte characters.

Could any one please guide if we can handle these characters using IBM WTX DPA having input map data language as ebcdic-deprecated and convert them to ascii.

Thanks,

Neetu

the @ signs could be EBCDIC spaces ( hexa 40), but in this case it is definitely not double byte characters. The best would be to check with the sender of the data what encoding is used.

ebcdic-deprecated is there for compatibility with old versions, you should use ebcdic, or one of the regional dialects depending on the data contents.

Hope this helps

Definitely EBCDIC.  Converted data shows as:

Thank-you.
