First all, thanks Nicholas.

i have no problem with the data sent to as400 socket, my problem is with the
data received as response when i try to convert it from "byte array" to
string, some characters are wrong converted.

i am using the NetworkStream class in order to send/receive data over a
TcpClient instance class.

how can i apply your advice?
