More about creating tables

The following are important points to remember about creating tables:

·New tables are created by overlaying other tables; always invoke the base table before transmitting new table data to the printer.

·The table data may consist of one or more records.

·The record-type indicator must be selected carefully to avoid changing the wrong tables in the system.

·The load address is always doubled.

·The following locations are assigned to control codes, to frequently used alphanumeric characters, and to characters used in printer command language. It is recommended that these locations not be changed:

ÐAny control code location (less than 20H in ISO or ASCII, or less than 40H in EBCDIC)

ÐISO 30H to 39H (numerals 0 to 9), EBCDIC F0H to F9H

ÐISO 41H to 5AH (letters A to Z), EBCDIC C1H to C9H, D1H to D9H, and E2H to E9H

ÐTo 89H, 91H to 99H, and A2H to A9H

ÐISO 20H, EBCDIC 40HÐspace character

ÐISO 2BH, EBCDIC 4EHÐplus sign (+)

ÐISO 2CH, EBCDIC 6BHÐcomma (,)

ÐISO 3D, EBCDIC 7EHÐequals sign (=)

ÐISO 24H, EBCDIC 5BHÐdollar sign ($).

·Each record must be terminated with two ªFºs.

The new table remains in the system and can be selected with the Language command. The new table becomes language H.
