Problem conclusion

  • Resolution Summary:
    While the product includes options for users to create their
    own custom xlate tables or to use codepage translation, for
    convenience, new xlate tables are provided that convert
    ISO-8859-1 ASCII text to IBM-037 EBCDIC and back. These xlate
    tables, ISOtoIBM.cdx and IBMtoISO.cdx, are located in the
    Server\xlate subfolder. They may be specified in copy step
    sysopts, or be made the default translation by specifying them
    in the Global Copy Parameters section of the initialization
    parameters.
