SBCS

creates the single-byte character set translation table. This table translates all single-byte data during a file transfer. The default translation table provided when the parameter is not specified, translates all EBCDIC characters in the range of x'00' through' x'FF' to its ASCII equivalent, within the range of x'00' through x'7F'. When receiving the file from a PC, the data is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC. Terminate the SBCS parameter with the END statement.

If you define SBCS, you must begin all data in column one and only one hexadecimal character pair is allowed per line.

The following example shows the syntax for the SBCS parameter.

SBCS
ff,tt
END

ff denotes the FROM translation.

tt denotes the TO translation.

SBCS Example

The following example translates x'C1' to x'41', x'C2' to x'42', x'C3' to x'43', and so on.

C1,41
C2,42
C3,43
C4,44
