ASCII-EBCDIC code conversion

If the UTM application and the communication partner use different codes (EBCDIC, ASCII compatible code), UTM provides the option of initiating generation of a partner-specific automatic code conversion.

To do this, UTM provides four code conversions that convert data as follows:

BS2000, Unix and Linux systems:

  • SYS1/SYS/SYSTEM: ISO8859-i ↔ EBCDIC.DF.04.i (EDF04i)

  • SYS2: ISO8859-1 ↔ EBCDIC.DF.04.DRV (EDF04DRV)

  • SYS3: ISO646-IRV ↔ EBCDIC.03.DF.03.IRV (EDF03IRV))

  • SYS4: ISO646-IRV ↔ EBCDIC.03.DF.03.DRV (EDF03DRV).

Windows systems:

  • SYS1/SYS/SYSTEM: Windows-1252 ↔ EBCDIC.DF.04.F (EDF04F)

  • SYS2: Windows-1252 ↔ EBCDIC.DF.04.DRV (EDF04DRV)

  • SYS3: ISO646-IRV ↔ EBCDIC.03.DF.03.IRV (EDF03IRV))

  • SYS4: ISO646-IRV ↔ EBCDIC.03.DF.03.DRV (EDF03DRV).

SYS1 and SYS2 are conversions between two 8-bit codes. SYS3 and SYS4 are conversions between two 7-bit codes.

The following sections outline the following for the individual platforms:

  • the partners for which the conversion tables can be used,

  • how you can modify/replace them.

Please refer to the chapter "Code Conversion" in the openUTM manual "Generating Applications" for an overview of how to generate the code conversion.
