Hitachi MK-96RD647-01 manual Code Conversion CC Option

•Code conversion (CC)

•Padding (PAD)

•Delimiters (DEL)

•Record description word (RDW)

•VSE record (VSE)

•Empty file (Emp)

Note: For FAL/FCU versions earlier than 01-XX-50, Multiple Volume Dataset is not supported. When a dataset is spanned over multiple volumes, only the portion of the dataset within one volume will be processed. For FAL/FCU versions 01-XX-50 or later, Multiple Volume Dataset is supported only for FXmto.

Note: FAL/FCU supports two kinds of mainframes, MVS and VSE. For Multiple Volume Dataset, FAL/FCU is only supported on MVS.

Code Conversion (CC) Option

The code conversion option can be used for FXmto and FXotm operations. The code conversion option enables you to specify either the default EBCDIC-ASCII code conversion table included with FCU (see Table 2-1), or your own code conversion table (see Table 2-2). When the default table is specified, FCU performs EBCDIC-to-ASCII code conversion for FXmto operations and ASCII- to-EBCDIC code conversion for FXotm operations as specified in Table 2-1(see also Appendix C). The user-defined code conversion table must be a binary data file created by placing the target code values in the offset positions that correspond to the source code values.

Always use code conversion when transferring text files between mainframe and open systems. Do not use code conversion when transferring binary data files. Code conversion is available (EcA option) but not recommended for FXoto file transfers.

Note: FCU versions 01-01-40 and later support the user-defined code conversion table.

Note: The default EBCDIC-ASCII code conversion table is the ACM standard table (not CACM). Appendix C provides the code conversion information for the default table which is shown in Table 2-1.If the default code conversion table does not yield the desired results, create your own code conversion table. Please refer to the IBM code tables for detailed information on EBCDIC-ASCII code conversion.
