Chapter 3. Sterling Connect:Direct Utilities

Introduction to Translation Tables

Sterling Connect:Direct translates data from one character set code to a different character set code, such as from ASCII to EBCDIC, based on a character translation table in the d_dir/ndm/xlate directory. Sterling Connect:Direct provides a default character translation table for use during file transfer operations or you can modify this table using the utility program called ndmxlt.

Creating a Translation Table

1.To create a translation table, either copy the file called /cd_dir/cdunix/ndm/ src/def_send.sxlt or /cd_dir/cdunix/ndm/src/def_recv.sxlt, where cd_dir is the directory where Sterling Connect:Direct is installed, and rename it or modify this file.

2.Use a text editor to add the new values to the table in the file you created.

3.Compile the updated file with the ndmxlt utility.

4.Replace the default translation table in the d_dir/ndm/xlate with the updated table. Each table is 256 bytes long.

Following is a sample translation table:

#This file contains an example of defining an ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation table and

#then changing it to translate lowercase to uppercase.

#

D8 D9 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 E8 E9

Each byte stores the character value for the target character set. The source character set is used as an index into the table. For example, an ASCII blank (Hex

20)would locate the byte at offset Hex 20 in the translation table. If the byte at location Hex 20 contains Hex code 40, that would translate to an EBCDIC code indicating a blank character.
