Definition
Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code
<character, standard> /eb's*-dik/, /eb'see'dik/, /eb'k*-dik/,
/ee'bik'dik'/, /*-bik'dik'/ (EBCDIC) A proprietary 8-bit
character set used on IBM dinosaurs, the AS/400, and
e-Server.
EBCDIC is an extension to 8 bits of BCDIC (Binary Coded
Decimal Interchange Code), an earlier 6-bit character set used
on IBM computers. EBCDIC was [first? ] used on the successful
System/360, anounced on 1964-04-07, and survived for many
years despite the almost universal adoption of ASCII
elsewhere. Was this concern for backward compatibility or,
as many believe, a marketing strategy to lock in IBM
customers?
IBM created 57 national EBCDIC character sets and an
International Reference Version (IRV) based on ISO 646 (and
hence ASCII compatible). Documentation on these was not
easily accessible making international exchange of data even
between IBM mainframes a tricky task.
US EBCDIC uses more or less the same characters as ASCII,
but different code points. It has non-contiguous letter
sequences, some ASCII characters do not exist in EBCDIC
(e.g. square brackets), and EBCDIC has some (cent sign,
not sign) not in ASCII. As a consequence, the translation
between ASCII and EBCDIC was never officially completely
defined. Users defined one translation which resulted in a
so-called de-facto EBCDIC containing all the characters of
ASCII, that all ASCII-related programs use.
Some printers, telex machines, and even electronic cash
registers can speak EBCDIC, but only so they can converse with
IBM mainframes.

translation tables, see {Guidelines on 8-bit character codes

E.g. the EBCDIC code for "A" is hexadecimal "C1".

EBCDIC
Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC; ) is an eight-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems. It descended from the code used with punched cards and the corresponding six-bit binary-coded decimal code used with most of IBM's computer peripherals of the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is supported by various non-IBM platforms, such as Fujitsu-Siemens' BS2000/OSD, OS-IV, MSP, and MSP-EX, the SDS Sigma series, Unisys VS/9, Unisys MCP and ICL VME.
