CHAPTER 3 — CHARACTER CODE TRANSLATION

Alternate Hosts and Character Translation

When using an alternate host, the only function that the 5250 ALLY

performs is to send the data through a translation table (and to send PFS 04

— INITALT to the printer upon receipt of data from the alternate host).

Although the translation tables can translate both printable (40h - FFh in

EBCDIC) and unprintable characters (00h - 3Fh), the user will usually

need to translate only printable characters.
