This charset is the IBM's external binary coded decimal for interchange
coding. This is an eight bits code. The following three variants were
implemented in GNU recode
independantly of RFC 1345:
ebcdic
dd
ebcdic
conversion is identical.
ebcdic-ccc
ebcdic-ibm
dd
ibm
conversion. For the GNU dd
ibm
table, recode
said:
Codes 91 and 213 both recode to 173 Codes 93 and 229 both recode to 189 No character recodes to 74 No character recodes to 106
So I arbitrarily chose to recode 213 by 74 and 229 by 106. This makes
the ebcdic-ibm
recoding reversible, but this is not necessarily
the best correction. In any case, I believe GNU dd
should be
corrected, and preferrably, GNU dd
and GNU recode
should
agree on the correction. So, this table may change once again.
RFC 1345 brings in recode
15 other EBCDIC charsets, and 21 other
charsets having EBCDIC in at least one of their alias names. You can
get a list of all these by executing:
recode -l | grep ebcdic
