As requested by
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200707/msg00228.html, here is the
'bug' on this topic:

Hello Wireshark Developers,

I have just found out that you now support the DRDA protocol. This is very
great!
However, I have a request to add the following feature:

I am often dealing with Host databases that use the EBCDIC codepage. In
DRDA the receiver has to translate the data into its local codepage. In a
such environment some packets will contain ASCII text data, and some will
contain EBCDIC data. It would be a great feature if I can (manually) select
if the data (package name, table name, ..) is to be displayed in ASCII or
EBCDIC.
Just an idea...

Thanks for you your work!

Best regards

             Ingo Franzki
