If the file is ASCII, I assume any images are base 64 encoded?

I just googled and gave you a link, then realised it was useless. I thought it was an article. But if you have ascii, what form do the images take inside that? Are they missing or are they a string?

Solution 2

You must not convert the BITMAP from EBCDIC to ASCII. You must read the file byte by byte and convert only the "data" part. The record length, bitmap and DE55 (chip data) must not be converted from EBCDIC to ASCII.
