Downloading a Single Translation Table Value

Downloading a change to a single translation table position value uses the following format. The example shown here changes the output value for an EBCDIC Form Feed character to an ASCII Space in Table 01 (EBCDIC to ASCII):

!AGILE!#01@0C=20;

!AGILE! is the trigger; a number sign (#) indicates a change to a translation table; 01 represents the EBCDIC to ASCII translation table; the at sign (@) is the position identifier; 0C is the position to be changed; 20 is the value moved into position 0C; an equals sign (=) separates the position from the value; and a semicolon (;) is the terminator. A comma (,) will also terminate this action.

Downloading a Partial Translation Table

Downloading of a partial translation table uses the following format. The example illustrates changing the value of all lowercase letters in Table 00 (ASCII to ASCII) to uppercase letters:

!AGILE!#00@61=

41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E 4F 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 5A;

The offset position number indicates the location in the table where the changes to the translation table will begin (location 61 was used in the example above). Any values in the character string after the offset position value will replace subsequent values in consecutive order in the table. Downloading will end when a semicolon (;) is received. A comma (,) will also terminate this action.

Changing Multiple Translation Table Values

Multiple translation table changes are possible by separating assignments with a comma. For example:

!AGILE!#01@05=20,#01@02=20,#02@0D=20,#02@0C=20;
