Conversion Procedure
To convert 7-bit substitution data to 8-bit ROMAN8 data, perform the
following steps:
1. Determine which files need to be converted. A file must be
converted if the data was input from an HP 262X terminal
configured for 7-bit operation or for a national substitution set
other than USASCII.
2. Determine the national substitution set (language on the terminal
configuration menu) from which the conversion should be done for
each file. This is the language the HP 262X terminal was
configured for at the time the file data was input.
3. Refer to Table D-1 to determine which utility should be used to
convert each file.
4. Back up all files to be converted (store to tape or SYSGEN).
5. Run each utility, supplying it with the language and file names as
determined above. Instructions for running each utility are found
at the end of this appendix.
6. Configure all terminals and printers for 8-bit operation. (At
least one terminal must already be configured for 8-bit operation
when the V7FF8CNV utility is run.) Refer to System Startup,
Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042) for
peripheral configuration.
Figure D-1 is a sample dialog from a session executing N7MF8CNV for both
text and data files.
