I'm afraid there's no really simple solution - especially when dealing
with a library. At the moment, i don't have a z/OS system available. I
can start digging in some backups of old porting projects though ...
just give me some time ...
Here's what i remember right now:
1. There are #pragma directives for switching encoding of the compiler:
#pragma convert(819)
const char *str1 = "hello"; /* ASCII string const. */
#pragma convert(37)
const char *str1 = "hello"; /* EBCDIC string const. */
2. On the filesystem level, you can tag source files to be interpreted
as ASCII using the command
chtag -tc ISO8859-1 mysource.c
But then, you would need a special ASCII editor like viascii to edit them.
3. The stdio functions use EBCDIC by default, e.g: if fgets() stumbles
over an ASCII-'\n', it would *not* see an end-of-line.
4. There are ioctl's which can switch a file descriptor into
auto-convert mode (sorry - can't remember the exact names/syntax).
Cheers
