Code conversion

Socket USP applications and Http clients normally use ASCII compatible code, while the EBCDIC code is used on BS2000 systems. openUTM therefore offers an automatic code conversion on BS2000 systems for socket USP partners and HTTP clients.

openUTM provides four code conversions, two 8-bit conversions and two 7-bit conversions. You can modify these conversion tables.

You will find more information on code conversion in the openUTM manual “Generating Applications” under the PTERM, TPOOL and CHAR-SET statements and in the appendix.
