Device EntriesByte: 0 2 3DevicePhysical AddressBytes0-'MeaningDevice 10: The EBCDIC code for the logical device 10. This 10 iscompared to the 10 specified in the lOB during an open, and whenthey are equal, the device with that physical address is opened.2-3 Physical address: Byte 2 is the address <strong>of</strong> the lOB pointer for thisdevice. During an open, t~e main microprocessor moves byte 2 intothe logical I/O table, and oyte 3 to the lOB.ASCII Translate TableThe ASCII translate table contains two 256-bytes sections. The first section is usedfor input, to translate EBCDIC notation to ASCII. The second 256-byte section isused for output, to translate ASCII notation to EBCDIC. The hex value <strong>of</strong> eachcharacter is used as an <strong>of</strong>fset into the appropriate translate table, and the originalhex value is replaced with the hex value at that <strong>of</strong>fset.48
