NetEx EFT213 Reference Manual Rel 5.4

This translation effects both directions. The EBCDIC cent sign (0x4A) is converted into a ASCII7 left bracket(0x5B) on its way out, and the ASCII7 left bracket (0x5B) is converted into and EBCDIC cent sign (0x4A)on its way in.Example #2:Suppose the native character set is EBCDIC and the remote host has a HOSTCODE value of ASCII7:eFT> connect VAX user pw -quietThe current TRANSLATE SEARCH path is:eFT> show translate searcheFT:eFT: SEArch . . . . . . (SITE)eFT:NetEx/eFT translation is turned on with the following command:eFT> translate onAt this point NetEx/eFT uses the SEArch path to look for a NetEx/eFT script file using the remoteHOSTCODE, in this case ASCII7. For an IBM z/OS system the SEArch path tells NetEx/eFT to look for thepartitioned data set member “ASCII7” in the (SITE) location. The partitioned data set member “ASCII7”could contain the lines from the above example:* Sample ASCII7 translation table for* an EBCDIC host*translate 0x4A 0x5B (cent sign left bracket)translate 0x4F 0x5D (solid bar right bracket)Now every time a connection is active to an ASCII7 host and the NetEx/eFT translation tables are initialized,the table is automatically loaded.The translate table can be displayed with the command:eFT> translate fullExample #3:The TRANSLATE search path allows the user to select optional files for input when the TRANSLATE commandis issued. Suppose instead of loading the default tables for the active host,“{HOSTCODE:REMOTE}”, the user would rather load a table from the user’s default TSOPREFIX. Thecurrent search path is:eFT> show translate searcheFT:eFT: SEArch ............. (SITE)eFT:The search path can be changed with the command:eFT> set translate search (USER)translate.uaeFT> show translate searcheFT:eFT: SEArch ............. (USER)translate.uaeFT:The search path for the TRANSLATE command now implies, look for the Sequential Data Set “translate.ua”in the default TSOPREFIX. The following command turns on translation and initializes the translate tablesby reading the sequential data set “TRANSLATE.UA” in the user’s default TSOPREFIX:REF-eFT213-R5.4-08 Command Descriptions Page 169
