About this task
Translation is performed if a data type of text is specified
in the sysopts parameter of a copy statement.
Procedure
-
Click on Settings > Translation > under List of Translation tables,
click Three Dots Menu (...) dots on a particular table user wishes to modify
- Type the name of the translation table file, or select
one of the following default translation tables from the drop-down
list:
- XLATERCR.CDX
- XLATESND.CDX
-
Click OK.
Each cell stores the character value for the target character set. The source character set
is used as an index into the table. For example, an ASCII blank (Hex 0) would fetch the byte
at offset Hex 0 in the translation table. If the byte at location Hex 0 contains Hex code 40,
that would translate to an EBCDIC code indicating a blank character.
