EBCDIKIN translates code from EBCDIK (IBM Standard) to JIS
(Japanese Industrial Standard). EBCDIKOUT translates code from JIS to
EBCDIK.
Syntax |
 |
;{EBCDIKIN
EBCDIKOUT} [={field
(field[;field[;...] ]) }[,EXCLUDE] ]
|
Where:
- field
Is a single unsigned integer, or a
pair of unsigned integers representing column numbers within the records in the
form a; a, b; or a:b. (The first column of a record is
column
#1.)
In the form a
the last column in the record is
the ending column
In the form a,b
b is the number of columns to
be converted
In the form a:b
- EXCLUDE
Specifies that the referenced
fields are not to be translated.
Operation |
|
These functions support the Katakana language. Use EBCDIKIN
and EBCDIKOUT to translate information between EBCDIC and the HP
KANA8 character sets. The mapping between these character sets
is defined by JIS and by IBM. For more information, refer to
the Native Language Support Reference Manual
(32414-90001) for MPE V/E or the Native Language Programmer's Guide (32650-90022) for MPE XL. Use these functions when, for example, you copy files to
magnetic
tapes in order to transfer them from one system to another.
The field and EXCLUDE parameters let you select a portion
of the file to be translated. If you do not specify
fields or EXCLUDE, the system converts all data within
each record in the file to EBCDIK. If you specify
fields without specifying EXCLUDE, the system converts
only the data within those fields. If you specify fields
and EXCLUDE, the system converts all data in each record
except for data within the specified fields.
Restrictions |
|
You cannot combine EBCDIKOUT with the CHAR, CLEAR,
KANA, OCTAL, HEX, or HEXO functions.
Notes |
|
When you use EBCDIKIN with the SUBSET function, the
system makes the conversions first.
Refer to appendix C for a complete list of conversion codes.
The maximum number of fields you can specify is 255.
FCOPY does not translate user labels when translating a file.
Examples |
|
The example below copies all records except columns 3 through 6
from the file CODFILE1 to the file CODFILE2,
converting the columns from EBCDIK to JIS code.
>FROM=CODFILE1;TO=CODFILE2;EBCDIKIN=3:6,EXCLUDE
|
The following example copies records 1 through 30 of FILEA to
FILEB, converting the data from JIS to
EBCDIK code.
>FROM=FILEA;TO=FILEB;EBCDIKOUT=1:30
