NM and CM callable. Converts a string of characters between EBCDIC and ASCII, or
between EBCDIK (HP-specific version of EBCDIC) and KANA8
(8-bit, Japanese International Standard (JIS) version of
USASCII code). Syntax | |
I16V CA CA
CTRANSLATE(transcode,inbuffer,outbuffer,
I16V CA
bufferlength,transtable);
|
Parameters | |
- transcode
16-bit signed integer by value (required) Passes one of the following translation identifiers: | Value | Meaning |
|---|
| 0 | User-supplied table specified in the
transtable parameter | | 1 | Convert EBCDIC to ASCII | | 2 | Convert ASCII to EBCDIC | | 3 | Reserved for operating system | | 4 | Reserved for operating system | | 5 | Convert EBCDIK to KANA8 (JIS) | | 6 | Convert KANA8 (JIS) to EBCDIK |
- inbuffer
character array (required) Passes the string of characters to be translated.
- outbuffer
character array (optional) Passes the translated character string. If an outbuffer parameter
is not specified, all translation occurs within inbuffer.
The inbuffer and outbuffer parameters can specify the
same array.
- bufferlength
16-bit signed integer by value (required) Passes the number of characters to be converted. - transtable
character array (required when transcode=0, otherwise optional) Passes the user-defined translation table. The contents and order
of transtable define the translation process. Transtable must be
<= 256 bytes. Transtable is constructed so that each byte
corresponds to a byte value in the source string to be translated.
For example, the first byte in transtable gives the code to be
substituted for source bytes whose value is 0.
