<p>The following code conversion APIs are designed to meet the X/Open industry
|
||
|
|
standard functions (formerly Spec 1170).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>iconv()</strong></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>iconv_open()</strong></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>iconv_close()</strong></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The <strong>QtqIconvOpen()</strong> function does not
|
||
|
|
meet the X/Open industry standard.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The three-step conversion provided by the code conversion APIs allows
|
||
|
|
applications to:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Open a conversion descriptor with a specified CCSID pair
|
||
|
|
(<strong>iconv_open()</strong> or <strong>QtqIconvOpen()</strong>
|
||
|
|
function)</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>Do multiple conversions (<strong>iconv()</strong> function)</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>Close the conversion descriptor when done (<strong>iconv_close()</strong>
|
||
|
|
function)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This reduces the overhead for applications that need to do multiple
|
||
|
|
conversions using the same CCSID pairs. These functions are carried out on the
|
||
|
|
iSeries<SUP>(TM)</SUP> system as entry points in a bindable Integrated Language Environment
|
||
|
|
(ILE) service program.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The CDRA API, <a href="CDRCVRT.htm">Convert a Graphic
|
||
|
|
Character String</a> (CDRCVRT), converts a graphic character data string from
|
||
|
|
one CCSID to another CCSID.</p>
