Inclusion of EBCDIC user tables

The conversion file for the EBCDIC user table is created with the text file for editing the EBCDIC user table and the EBCDIC User Table Expand command. HULFT must be restarted in order to execute the EBCDIC User Table Expand command.

HULFT provides EBCDIC code set conversion templates as samples for editing EBCDIC user tables.

Note

You may not be able to use EBCDIC user tables, depending on the combination of codes from which and to which HULFT carries out conversion. Refer to the following for the details:
