This
topic describes
the code set conversion utilities supported by the
z/OS® XL C/C++ compiler.
These utilities are as follows:
- genxlt utility
- Generates a translation
table for use by the iconv utility and iconv() functions.
- iconv utility
- Converts a file from one code set encoding to another.
- iconv() functions
- Perform code set translation. These functions are iconv_open(), iconv(),
and iconv_close(). They are used by the iconv utility and may be called
from any z/OS XL C/C++ program requiring code set translation.
- uconvdef utility
- Handles Universal-coded character sets. Creates binary conversion
tables that define mapping between UCS-2 and multibyte code sets.
See z/OS XL C/C++ User's Guide for descriptions of the genxlt and iconv utilities, z/OS XL C/C++ Runtime Library Reference for
descriptions of the iconv() functions, and z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference for
descriptions of the uconvdef utility.
