Customizing 5250 EBCDIC to ASCII Translation
The 5250 data stream translates all data from the host from 8-bit
EBCDIC to 8-bit ASCII for processing in the terminal. Before the data is
sent back to the host, it is again translated from ASCII to EBCDIC. The
default translation is shown below.
You can customize the operation of the 5250 data stream by changing the
default EBCDIC to ASCII translation table. You can replace the default
table with one that is combined with the HEX file that you download to
theterminal.YoucanuseASEBTBLD.EXEtocreatethefile.Youmust
name it ASCEBD.TBL.

Usage: ASEBTBLD [<options>] <commands> <fname>
<options>:
-r<file> Input file containing replacement table
type,
0x00-0xff table index, 0x00-0xff value.
-v Verbose — display processing steps.
<fname> Output file name, extension ignored.
ASEBTBLD creates <fname>.TBL from the default ASCII and EBCDIC
tables using the replacement values specified in -r <file>.Typingthefol-
lowing creates the file ASCEBD.TBL, with the replacement values speci-
fied in CHANGES.MY. asebtbld -rchanges.my ascebd
The replacement file is an ASCII text file formatted as follows:
-----------------top of replacement file--------------------
/* Any line beginning with ‘/*’ in column 1 is a comment.
/*A=ASCII=>
/* EBCDIC
/* E=EBCDIC=> 0-based hex
/* ASCII index value
Anything after value is a comment
/* ------- ------- ---------
A 0x30 0xf0 ASCII ‘0’ returns EBCDIC ‘0’
E 0xf0 0x30 EBCDIC ‘0’ returns ASCII ‘0’
E 0xc9 0x3f Unknown EBCDIC 0xc9 returns ASCII ‘?’
/* Any number of blanks, tabs allowed before, between and
/* after values.
/* blank lines allowed
