EBCDIC-to-ASCII Conversion
Figure 196 shows how the POP server handles mail going from EBCDIC (such as
OfficeVision mail or control language interface) toASCII (such as Internet or POP
mail).
There are two paths by which text is converted from OfficeVision format (EBCDIC)
to Internet format (ASCII); the SMTP bridge and the Mail Server Framework. Before
the introduction of MIME support and the POP server in V3R2 and V3R7, all mail
which needed conversion went through the SMTP bridge. Mail is converted in the
SMTP bridge using the SMTP configuration information (CHGSMTPA).Mail is
converted in the framework using the POP configuration information (CHGPOPA).
Toconfigure your outbound mail to go through the SMTP bridge, set the following
fields on the Add Directory Entry (ADDDIRE) command of the recipient of the mail:
1. Set

System name
