ISPccsid translate load modules

The ISPccsid translate load modules provide ISPF with the information needed to translate data from one CCSID to another. There is one ISPccsid translate load module for each of the supported CCSIDs. The name (or alias for those ISPccsid modules provided by ISPF) of each CCSID translate load module is made up of the 5-digit CCSID, prefixed with ISP. For example, load module ISP00111 supports translation of the CCSID 00111. Each CCSID translate load module must contain two translate tables. The required translate tables permit data to be translated between the respective CCSID and CCSID 00500. Additionally, each CCSID load module can contain up to 256 pairs of optional direct translate tables. ISPF will use direct translate tables when available. Otherwise, ISPF translates through CCSID 00500. Translating through CCSID 00500 can result in valid characters being lost. This is due to CCSID 00500 not having all possible code points defined.
