HULFT-ENG

7.1.1

If all of the following conditions are met, the result of the code conversion differs from the one obtained in HULFT of a version lower than Ver.7:

  • One of the following code sets is selected on the sending-side host: IBM Kanji, JEF, KEIS, or NEC Kanji

  • EUC-JP is selected as the code set on the receiving-side host

  • Format Transfer or Multi Format Transfer is performed

  • A field of type M is specified in the Format Information and the converted value is longer than the field length

  • Shiftcode Mode is set to "Space" in the Send Management Information

The example below illustrates the difference in the result of conversion from IBM Kanji to EUC-JP between HULFT Ver.7 or higher and HULFT lower than Ver.7:

Example) Difference in the conversion result in the case of conversion from IBM Kanji to EUC-JP

Behavior of HULFT lower than Ver.7

  1. HULFT converts half width Katakana of EBCDIC to half width Katakana of EUC-JP.

  2. HULFT replaces SO with 0x20.

  3. HULFT preferentially replaces SI with 0x20, giving 0X20 a priority over "", because the remaining byte count is 2 bytes. "" is not set.

Behavior of HULFT Ver.7 or higher

  1. HULFT converts half width Katakana of EBCDIC to half width Katakana of EUC-JP.

  2. HULFT replaces SO with 0x20.

  3. "" is set.

  4. HULFT does not set SI, because remaining byte count is limited.

    HULFT Ver.7 or higher sets data, giving 0x20 priority over the space converted from SI.
