Summary :
SAP systems traditionally employ the ASCII character set, but the transition to the iSeries with OS/400 and DB2/400 has introduced EBCIDIC, a distinct IBM character system. Various character arrangement in EBCDIC compared to ASCII leads to potential issues in mixed system environments. The note details the challenges of character comparisons, sorting mechanisms, and data management across different SAP platforms, emphasizing anomalies in intervals, logical expressions, and sorted data transfer via RFC. Proposed solutions included adjusting code handling and sorting procedures to accommodate EBCDIC peculiarities, particularly in AS/400 implementations.
