ASCII and EBCDIC conversion tables

This section contains the ASCII to EBCDIC and EBCDIC to ASCII conversion tables used by the InfoSphere® DataStage® import/export operators.

If an input file uses a character set that is not the native character set of the host computer, the import operator must perform a conversion. For example, if ASCII is the native format for strings on your host computer, but the input data file represents strings using EBCDIC, you must convert EBCDIC to ASCII.

This section contains the lookup tables supplied by InfoSphere DataStage for converting between ASCII and EBCDIC. These conversion tables are as defined in DFSMS/MVS V1R2.0 Using Magnetic Tapes, Document Number SC26-4923-01, by IBM®.
