For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
This example code demonstrates incorrect output from the $EBCDIC format and informat:
data _null_;
x='A'; xx=put(x,$EBCDIC.); /* should be C1 */
y='B'; yy=put(y,$EBCDIC.); /* should be C2 */
z='C'; zz=put(z,$EBCDIC.); /* shoudl be C3 */
put x= hex. xx= hex.;
put y= hex. yy= hex.;
put z= hex. zz= hex.;
run;
data a;
y=input('C1C2C3'X,$EBCDIC10.);
put y= ;
z=input('818283'X,$ebcdic10.);
put z=;
w=input('9899A2'X,$ebcdic10.);
put w=;
a=input('D8D9E2'X,$ebcdic10.);
put a=;
