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.
