In mapping from ROMAN8 to EBCDIC, characters look the same, or as close as
possible, before and after conversion. The majority of the symbols appearing in
ROMAN8 also exist in the EBCDIC country extended code pages. In ROMAN8, there
are nine characters that have no similar EBCDIC character and six undefined
characters. Since there are no undefined characters in the EBCDIC country
extended code pages, 15 characters in EBCDIC have no look-alikes in ROMAN8.
For these characters a one-to-one mapping has been defined as shown in
Table C-1 ROMAN8 to EBCDIC Mapping.

The mapping to and from EBCDIC for the KANA8 character set is defined by
Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) and IBM.In all languages, the
character mappings defined and implemented are any character mapped from any
Hewlett-Packard 8-bit character set to EBCDIC and then back again, or vice
versa, will result in the original character value. A complete listing of the
Hewlett-Packard 8-bit character set to EBCDIC mappings, and vice versa, can be
obtained by running the NLUTIL utility. (Refer to the MPE XL System Utilities
Reference Manual (32650-90081).)
The mappings can be made available to a program by using NLINFO
item=13 or 14. The mappings are used by the NLTRANSLATE
intrinsic, which performs the Hewlett-Packard 8-bit to EBCDIC translation or the
reverse. The CTRANSLATE intrinsic maps USASCII or JISCII to EBCDIC
(and vice versa). For the languages NATIVE-3000 and KATAKANA, there is no
difference between the mappings produced by NLTRANSLATE and
CTRANSLATE.
