About This Chapter
This chapter explains the ETU translation commands. These commands are
used in conjunction with the ETU transfer commands. If, when you transfer
a file, you specify no translation, you will translate it using one of
the commands described in this chapter.
There are four ETU translation command:
• XLATEFROM--Translates a microcomputer ASCII file to a host physical
file format. This is for use with micro files that were previously
transferred to the host using the TO3XB command with *NONE as the
translation type;
• XLATETO--Translates a host physical file to ASCII. You can then
transfer the file to the micro using the FROM3XB command with *NONE as
the translation type;
• PRTXFRMPC--Translates a host print file to a PC print file format
prior to transferring the file with the PRTFROMPC command;
• PRTXTOPC--Translates a PC print file to a host print file format after
you transfer the file to the host with the PRTTOPC command.
These commands can be run interactively from the micro, or in batch mode
from any micro or host terminal.
The advantages to using the translation commands are described on the
following page. If you are new to ETU, you should read Chapter 4,
Learning About ETU, prior to reading this chapter.
