 
What happened to the ASCII Runtime PRPQ?
Welcome to the home page for the ASCII Runtime for iSeries. This page contains the latest information on this product.
ASCII Runtime for iSeries provides developers a virtually seamless solution with little impact on performance between an ASCII application and the EBCDIC ILE environment of iSeries. By functioning as an "interface layer" between an application and an iSeries system, the changes required by developers are significantly lowered if not eliminated when this product is correctly implemented.
ASCII Runtime provides the means for an ASCII application running on iSeries to send and receive EBCDIC string values and enables ASCII applications to interface with many common API's, such as printf() and scanf(), that take and return EBCDIC strings. Specifically, ASCII Runtime enables an ASCII application to send EBCDIC output to an iSeries server and to receive EBCDIC input in an iSeries server. This allows ASCII and EBCDIC applications to "talk" and allows the use of standard I/O.
This product provides ASCII Runtime libraries for iSeries and supports ASCII/EBCDIC conversion as well as ASCII/UNICODE conversion. This product is intended to be used as a tool for porting ASCII applications to ILE and is not a replacement for the standard run time libraries.
