I-Data 5250 ALLY - Manual (Page 74)

AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference Page 3-6
The table shows that the output value for the input value of 'C1' is '41.'
(This is an uppercase “A” in ASCII.) When this table is selected, an
uppercase EBCDIC “A” received by the 5250 ALLY is translated into an
uppercase ASCII “A” and sent to the printer.
Editing a Translation Table
The appropriate translation table for the input/output device combinations
may not exist. If this is the case, the user will have to edit an existing table.
Find the table that most closely matches the requirements from among
User Table 1 to User Table 7.
Before changing any translation table, the user should print a translation
table report using Mode 9-2 as described on page 1-13. This report will
send the printer a report of each of the translation tables. A sample
translation table report can be found in Chapter 5 — Maintenance &
Troubleshooting.
Translation tables can be modified by the user by downloading new values
from the host or alternate host. This procedure should be attempted only
by advanced users with a clear understanding of the way in which the
translation tables function.
The translation table downloading procedure is similar to the way in which
configuration options are modified. It requires a trigger (!AGILE!); a
number/pound sign (#) to indicate that the data is a change to a translation
table; a two-digit table number; an at sign (@) to indicate the starting
position of the change in the table; the position number in the table; an
equals sign (=) to indicate the start of the replacement values; the values
themselves; and then a semicolon (;) as a terminator. (A comma will also
act as a terminator.)
All Spaces, Nulls and carriage control characters will be ignored during
translation table downloading. This allows the user to separate entries for
easier reading, and it prevents the data from becoming corrupted by host
forms control.
Resetting Translation Tables to Defaults
