EBCDIC user table inclusion example
This section describes how to create a table to convert from '
' (yen sign; ASCII : 0x5c) to '\' (backslash; EBCDIC : 0xE0) based on EBCDIC Katakana character conversion during the conversion from ASCII to EBCDIC, and how to set the table as user table 1, as an example of table creation.
(1) Copying the template file
Copy the EBCDIC code set conversion template file, which is used for EBCDIC Katakana character conversion from ASCII to EBCDIC, as a text file for editing the EBCDIC user table, using any file name.
% cd HULFT installation directory % cp $HULPATH/ucf/as2ebkn.txt user1.txt
(2) Editing text files
Edit the copied text file for editing the EBCDIC user table by using an editor, such as vi.
