NEC special character table

Since some NEC special characters are used often, they are provided in templates for definition cards for custom character table creation. Add a template for the NEC special character table to the existing custom character table file.

The templates for the NEC special character table are stored in the JCL library, which is included in HULFT installation.

The conversion information of the following characters is described in the provided NEC special character table:

Example of JCL

The JCL for creating a custom character table for NEC special characters is given below. This example shows the method for conversion from IBM Kanji to Shift-JIS.
