Single-byte data
If you are copying single-byte data into or out of the z/OS UNIX file system,
you can use one of these:
- Working in MVS™, you can use the z/OS XL C/C++ iconv utility to convert MVS data from one code page to another. For information about the z/OS XL C/C++ iconv utility, see the iconv command description in z/OS XL C/C++ Programming Guide.
- Working in the shell, you can use the iconv shell command to convert z/OS UNIX data from one code page to another. For information about the iconv shell command, see the iconv command description in z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.
- The CONVERT operand on the OCOPY, OGET, OGETX, OPUT, and OPUTX
commands provides these code page conversion choices for the data
as you are copying:
- CONVERT((BPXFX111))
- Specifies a conversion table to convert between code pages IBM-037 and IBM-1047.
- CONVERT((BPXFX311))
- Specifies an ASCII-EBCDIC conversion table to convert between code pages ISO8859-1 and IBM-1047.
- CONVERT(YES)
- Specifies the default conversion table BPXFX000, which is an alias that points to BPXFX111, to convert the data.
- CONVERT(user-defined table)
- Specifies the name of a user-defined conversion table.
