Modify a Translation Table Using Integrated Connect:Direct® Web Services

About this task

Translation is performed if a data type of text is specified in the sysopts parameter of a copy statement.

Procedure

  1. Click on Settings > Translation > under List of Translation tables, click Three Dots Menu (...) dots on a particular table user wishes to modify
  2. 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
  3. 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.
