Code conversion

In HULFT, data can be converted during a transfer, whether Send or Receive processing is involved, in accordance with the character encodings on the host on the sending side and the host on the receiving side. This conversion processing is called 'code conversion.'

 

You can choose whether code conversion takes place on the host on the sending side or on the host on the receiving side.

HULFT supports the following types of Character code conversion:
