FTPAPI: Problem with FTP_LIST and filenames with "special" characters
When receiving a list of files and directories from a NAS drive via FTP
I had a problem with one of
the names containing the letter "Å" ( hex x'C5' ). It was not converted
to the right EBCDIC character.
I found out that the problem was that the ascii code page used for the
conversion was code page 437
which might be OK for American purposes but inadequate for European
purposes.
Here code page 1252 should be used instead.

The procedures ToASCII and ToEBCDIC calls procedure initiconv.
Here is an extract of the code from initiconv
.
.
* Initialize ASCII conv table:
c eval wkEBCDIC_cp = rtvJobCp
c eval wkDsToASC =
iconv_open(%addr(wkDsASCII) :
c
%addr(wkDsEBCDIC) )
.
.
.
* Initialize EBCDIC conv table:
c eval wkDsToEBC =
iconv_open(%addr(wkDsEBCDIC) :
c
%addr(wkDsASCII) )
The problem is the data structure wkDsASCII and the constant DFT_RMT_CP
** Default remote codepage
D DFT_RMT_CP C CONST(437)
D wkDsASCII DS occurs(MAX_SESSION)
D wkASCII_cp 10I 0 INZ(DFT_RMT_CP)
D wkASCII_ca 10I 0 INZ(0)
D wkASCII_sa 10I 0 INZ(0)
D wkASCII_ss 10I 0 INZ(1)
D wkASCII_il 10I 0 INZ(0)
D wkASCII_eo 10I 0 INZ(1)
D wkASCII_r 8A INZ(*allx'00')
The procedure FTP_codePage cannot be used to change this.
I have tried to debug through the FTPAPI and modify the default value
from 437 to 1252 before it was
used in procedure initiconv. Then continued to the FTP_list procedure
and now the filename was converted to
the right value.
So can we have the default changed from 437 to 1252?
Kind regards
