Basic-Plus EBCDIC

Trying to rebuild a Basic-Plus EBCDIC table. Because we processed a lot of customer EBCDIC data on our ASCII PDP-11/70…back in the day. If not all then 99% of the customer data was in EBCDIC. But it’s a little different…I think. Because I believe the values were in DATA statements. And I already had a table in Julia. So I’m building it like that for now.

Well I built a little EBCDIC string and translated it to ASCII. The first attempt was overly complicated. And then I found XLATE. It took awhile because my Basic-Plus is rusty. It’s not a language that I think in anymore.
