Hi,
I have some credit card information in EBCDIC Hex format. For some business logic, I need that information in ASCII Hex format
I have googled and got some clue but not succeeded
Please suggest me

I'd suggest converting it--you're only dealing with 0-9; how difficult could it possibly be to convert it to ASCII?! And who's still using EBCDIC? And which version are they using?

What I'm saying is that you're dealing with 10 EBCDIC values. Can you think of no way to convert between those values and ASCII values?

You also need to be aware of which EBCDIC type you have (IBM, HP or AT&T) - some of the characters has different HEX

(That was why I asked which version of EBCDIC was being used :)
