RE: EBCDIC - AXCII translation issues
Clive, please send the program code you are using to connect to this service. In particular are you trying to force conversion in any way?
Try changing your job to CCSID 37. Call the service. Does it work now?
Are you multi-national on your i? Not telling you what to do as YMMV, but why still using 65535? I assume that is coming from your sysval QCCSID. Here is OLD post talking about it. Way, way, way past time to change it (yes lots of people still run with 65535 but changing to "right" value is better). Google QCCSID and you will see other experiences as well.

Scott, Thanks for the heads up. I was aware that my user Id/password were in the log but wasn't concerned as it only points to a test server. However on reflection I have taken your advice and changed them.
Back to the matter in hand.
DSPJOB option 2 shows me the following.
Language identifier . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : ENU
Country or region identifier . . . . . . . . . . : GB
Coded character set identifier . . . . . . . . . : 65535
Default coded character set identifier . . . . . : 37
Before translation the [ (open square bracket) character is X'B1'
Following translation the character is X'A3'
In my original post I said that we were not having any other translation issues. I must confess this was not entirely true.
If I use Client Access data transfer (Receive File From Host) and leave the "translate server data to" option as the default ASCII then the character gets translated to X'9C'
When I change from the default to the ANSI option it gets translated to X'A3'
The answer to Scotts question about whether I need the ] (open square bracket) symbol is yes, or at least I think it is yes. The support guys at the web service sent me a transcript of a session which works and I am simply trying to emulate that by reproducing the same XML & SOAP message. Again I have included the transcript file (though this time I have removed the user Id & password). I am a novice in this area but it seems to be an array index number.

Hi Clive,
Just a heads up: Your debug trace file contains your userid/password...
So if that wasn't a fake userid/password, you might want to change your password on that site, since you've just sent it out to more than 1000 e-mail recipients on this list.
As for the CCSID issue... it would help greatly if you could provide the default CCSID number on your system (use DSPJOB, option 2, and page down to 'Default coded character set identifier'). Also please tell us the hex value of the [ character in your program (before translation) and in the output file (after translation, when it looks like pounds sterling).
Also... are you certain that you really want [1] in the XML element?
Usually when I see [1], it's been added by an e-mail client... and doesn't truly belong in the XML.
