HPUX encoding filesets equivalent to IBM-1074 & ISO8859-1

ECM3 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:23:44 GMT

I am looking to replicate use of iconv function running on AIX to an equivalent use running under HPUX. It appears that HPUX has its own unique encoding sets and have found it difficult so far to map them onto the more standard codesets names I have been familiar wit in LINUX and/or AIX....

example:

a typical use of iconv would be to convert a data file from IBM EBCDIC to UNIX ASCIII as follows

iconv -f IBM-1047 -t ISO8859-1

You can use 'dd' to convert from EBCIDIC to ASCII on HP-UX.

There is an example in the 'dd' man page. There are also a lot of hits from Google.

I assume you have done "iconv -l" to get a list of all of them.

Or look at /usr/lib/nls/iconv/*config.iconv

The only one with IBM is IBM850.

Yes...I 've reviewed the sources you note....What I hoping was that maybe there was a mapping somewhare linking HP codeset names to those used to perform equivalent translations in other OS environments..... .
