Subject: Re: [xsl] Representing EBCDIC code 37 in xslt From: Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:13:03 +0000 |
xsl:output-character defines Unicode codepoints to be output; these will be subject to encoding in the same way as any other character. You can't use this to bypass Unicode-to-EBCDIC conversion. First find out whether your XSLT processor supports EBCDIC code page 37 as a serialization encoding. If it does, you should be able to use something like <xsl:output encoding="ebcdic-037"/> (No idea what the correct name is!) If it doesn't support this encoding, you will need to generate output in say utf-8 or iso-8859/1, and transcode this to ebcdic-037 by some kind of converter running as a postprocessing phase after XSLT transformation.
