Example—Modifying a Model Translation Table

Perform the following steps to modify a model translation table. This method, when implemented, reads the model table and writes it to a new file. It then reads the input data and makes changes to the table created.

  1. Create a file called FourLinesUpperCase.sxlt and add the following lines to the file:
    #
    # Change the lowercase characters to uppercase.
    offset=61
    C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7
    D8 D9 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 E8 E9
  2. Copy the modified file to cd_dir/ndm/src.
  3. Type the following command to compile this file and create a translation table called fourLineUpperCase.xlt:
    ndmxlt -s../src/FourLineUpperCase.sxlt -oFourLineUpperCase.xlt -mdef_send.xlt
  4. To use this translation table, add the following sysopts parameter to the copy statement:
    copy from file=filename 
         to   file=filename 
              sysopts=":xlate.tbl=pathname/FourLineUpperCase.xlt:"
