Conversion site
Conversion site used to convert between EBCDIC and ASCII data types while connected to the AS/400.
There are two possible settings:
*LOCAL |
The EBCDIC/ASCII conversions will be performed on the client machine (PC). |
*REMOTE |
The EBCDIC/ASCII conversions will be performed on the server (AS/400). |
Note: We recommend using the *LOCAL conversion site, in order to avoid overloading the server (AS/400); nevertheless, the *REMOTE conversion site can prove useful with less powerful PCs.
