Which Encoding type are you using in your cobol assembly? because it sounds that there are text encoding problems

hey mate.. i got this working but the only problem I'm having now is the string data-type in cobol. If I;m passing a string value to dll cobol and when it returns back that string value i got a weird funny character. do you know about CLASS COBOL-STRING AS System.String in cobol?

Have you ever tried to register your dll using the regasm.exe this is a tool dedicated to register the unmanaged code in order to be used within a managed code context
