Customize Translation Tables
You can create and update the translation tables through a preprocessor that takes simple batch input in a predefined format and creates output compatible with the assembler. You can then assemble and link-edit the output to produce a translation table you can load.
Input to the batch preprocessor consists of six main parameters and the END parameter. All input begins in column one. The following table defines the batch preprocessor parameters.
| Parameter | Required | Default | Format | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NAME | No | XLATE | 8 characters | Table name information |
| TITLE | No | DBCS TRANSLATION TABLE | 60 characters | Table title information |
| DEFAULT | No | 0000 | 2 byte hex representation | Default translation character |
| RULES | No | 80-FF | 2 byte hex representation | Language rules |
| SBCS | No | Standard | 2 byte hex representation | Single-byte character set translation table |
| DBCS | Yes | None | 4 byte hex representation | Double-byte character set translation table |
| END | Yes | None | Terminates DBCS, SBCS, and RULES parameters |
