int __atoe_l(char *bufferptr, int leng);The __atoe_l() function converts leng ISO8859-1 bytes in the buffer pointed to by bufferptr to their EBCDIC equivalent. The conversion is performed using the codeset page associated with the current locale.
The argument bufferptr points to a buffer containing the ISO8859-1 bytes to be converted to their EBCDIC equivalent. The input buffer is treated as sequence of bytes, and all bytes in the input buffer are converted, including any imbedded NULLs.
If successful, __atoe_l() converts the input IOS8859-1 bytes to their equivalent EBCDIC value, and returns the number of bytes that were converted.
