Hello all, please run the following program. It tries to Convert a sting from UNICODE to my local codepage “win-1252”. One of the Unicode-Characters (i.e. UH’010D’ = C+caron) is non-existant in my local codepage. So a NAT3413 occurs. ```auto define data local 01 #u10 (U10) init /* A B C+caron D 01 #a10 (A10) 01 #usr2030 02 #usr2030-ERR-PARM (A253/1:9) 02 #usr2030-OCC (N01) /* Number of occurences 02 #usr2030-RESPONSECODE (N04) /* Error code, not used end-define on error if *ERROR-NR = 3413 write 'Codepage-Transformation error' write '=' #a10 (EM=H(10)) callnat 'USR2030N' #usr2030 write '=' #usr2030-OCC write '=' #usr2030-ERR-PARM(1) (AL=70) end-if end-error write '=' *CODEPAGE #a10 := #u10 /* unicode --> win-1252 /* NAT3413 here end ``` The documentation of NAT3414 says: > [@](#): > > NAT3413 Conversion error, at least 1 code point not translated. H’:1:’ > […] > The first failed code point of the source string is displayed in > hexadecimal format at the end of the message. So I would expect to get the “bad” character in :1:… But it doesn’t work. The output of the program above is as follows: ```auto CODEPAGE: windows-1252 Codepage-Transformation error #A10: 41421A44202020202020 #USR2030-OCC: 0 #USR2030-ERR-PARM: ``` Any ideas? My Natural-Version is 6.3.9@Solaris. Regards Matthias ---

Hello Matthias, I experienced the same; we are on Nat 6.3.12 . In order to avoid runtime errors in case of conversion errors, I mostly use the ‘Move encoded’… (e.g. a binary xml input with data) to … (alphanumeric variable) 'giving #move-encoded-error" (#move-encoded-error is my variable for error code). If #move-encoded-error is 0, everything is ok; if not, I know I have to handle the input in another way and can’t just convert it into a string in the default codepage. But I also would like to know more exactly which character causes the problem. Kind regards Eva ---

Hello Eva Grill, thanks for your answer. Of course we can do a workaround like the following: ```auto define data local 01 #u10 (U10) init /* A B C+caron D+caron 01 #a10 (A10) 01 #u10b (U10) 01 #u1a (U1) 01 #u1b (U1) 01 #i4 (I4) 01 #usr2030 02 #usr2030-ERR-PARM (A253/1:9) 02 #usr2030-OCC (N01) /* Number of occurences 02 #usr2030-RESPONSECODE (N04) /* Error code, not used end-define on error if *ERROR-NR = 3413 write 'Codepage-Transformation error' write '=' #a10 (EM=H(10)) callnat 'USR2030N' #usr2030 write '=' #usr2030-OCC write '=' #usr2030-ERR-PARM(1) (AL=70) #u10b:= #a10 /* back to unicode to find out bad chars for #i4 = 1 to 10 #u1a:= substr(#u10,#i4,1) #u1b:= substr(#u10b,#i4,1) if #u1a ne #u1b write 'bad char' #u1a (EM=HH) 'on pos' #i4 end-if end-for end-if end-error write '=' *CODEPAGE #a10 := #u10 /* unicode --> win-1252 /* NAT3413 here end ``` But if I understand the documentation correctly I think Natural should do this job for me… Matthias ---

Hi Matthias, I think you’re right. I’ve tried to run your example on z/OS and the result is: ```auto Page 1 12-12-13 14:05:11 CODEPAGE: IBM01143 Codepage-Transformation error A10: C1C23FC4404040404040 USR2030-OCC: 1 USR2030-ERR-PARM: 010D NAT3413 Conversion error, at least 1 code point not translated. H'010D' ``` I suggest you open a support request for Open Systems. Best regards, Mogens ---

Hello Mogens, thanks for trying it out on your z/OS. I’ve just opened up a support request… Matthias ---
