Features of Version 5.02

This version of ETU has several new features that didn't exist in Version

5.01 (or earlier), including:

•The maximum column width is supported.

•ETU 400 supports print translations to the maximum column width allowable in OS/400. In the current version of ETU 400, the prompt for column width is 999 characters. However, the latest version of OS/400 allows a column width of only 378.

•A new translation table is included.

•ETU 400 contains a new translation table for host-to-PC file (EBCDIC to ASCII) file translations. The new translation table, ETOA3, is for fixed-length records and is suitable for some postal, IRS, and banking applications.

•The RMVETU command has been reimplemented. The RMVETU command, which gracefully removes ETU from your AS/400, has been reimplemented. See Appendix A for details.

This version of ETU is compatible with most of the earlier versions.
