About Translation Tables
The translation tables provided with ETU have three purposes. They:
•
translate data from ASCII to EBCDIC or from EBCDIC to ASCII;
•
specify whether the file being translated has a fixed or variable
format;
•
tell the host whether the micro involved in the translation is a DOS-
based PC or a Mac.
Each translation table is stored as a member in a physical file. The DOS-
based tables are in a physical file called TRANSLATE in the host library
containing the ETU programs. The Mac translation tables are in a physical
file called MACTAB in the same library.
The source for each table is also included with ETU. Each table is stored
as a source member in a source file called TRANSSRC, also in the library
containing the ETU programs. To modify a translation table, you will
change one of the source members.
There are four tables for PC-DOS translations and three for the Mac
translations. Each table and its function is described below in Table 8-
1.
