Conversion of half-width Katakana

The following Type-EBCDIC code sets do not contain half-width Katakana codes:

• EBCDIC Lowercase

• EBCDIC ASCII

• Japan (Latin) for IBM

When HULFT converts half-width Katakana codes of a Type-ASCII code set into codes of the code sets above, conversion results vary depending on whether the conversion is executed on the sending-side host or on the receiving-side host. This works as follows:

• Sending-side conversion

  HULFT converts the half-width Katakana codes into EBCDIC single-byte spaces (0x40) regardless of the host type of the sending-side host.

• Receiving-side conversion

  Conversion results vary depending on the host type of the receiving-side host.

  • When the host on the receiving side runs HULFT for IBMi

    HULFT converts the half-width Katakana codes into EBCDIC single-byte spaces (0x40).

  • When the host on the receiving side runs HULFT for Mainframe

    HULFT converts the half-width Katakana codes into EBCDIC hyphens (0x60).

 

When HULFT converts half-width Katakana codes of a Type-EBCDIC Code Set that contains half-width Katakana into codes of a Type-EBCDIC Code Set that does not contain half-width Katakana, HULFT converts them into EBCDIC single-byte spaces (0x40), regardless of the host type.
