CHR_ETOM

Translate a string from EBCDIC to the machine’s character set

Description:

The string STR1, which has been written on a machine which uses the EBCDIC character set and subsequently read on a machine which may not use the EBCDIC character set to represent characters in Fortran, is returned in STR2 translated into the correct character set for the host machine.

Invocation

CALL CHR_ETOM( STR1, STR2 )

Arguments

STR1 = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Given)
The character string written on a machine with an EBCDIC character set and read on a machine which may not use EBCDIC to represent characters in Fortran.
STR2 = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Returned)
The translated EBCDIC character string. If STR2 is shorter than STR1, the translated string will be truncated; if STR2 is longer than STR1, STR2 will be padded with blanks beyond the translated string.

Notes:

This subroutine has been implemenred for machines which use the ASCII character set.
