About This Chapter

ETU provides you with eight translation tables which it uses to translate

data. Each table performs a separate function. Some translate data from

the micro to the host and others from the host to the micro.(See Chapter

4, Learning About ETU, for more information about the translation

tables.)

The tables provided with ETU will serve the needs of most users. If the

translation tables supplied with ETU do not fit your needs, you can

modify an existing table. This chapter explains how to modify a

translation table and how to use the modified table to translate data.

This chapter is intended only for advanced users of ETU and the AS/400.

You should be familiar with using AS/400 Source Entry Utility (SEU) and

compiling source on the AS/400.

To modify the translation tables, use the ETU commands STRSEU and

EDITTABLE. These commands are explained in this chapter and in Chapter

10, ETU Command Reference.

Appendix F, ASCII-EBCDIC Printable Characters, lists the

ASCII and EBCDIC characters and their hexadecimal equivalents. Refer to

Appendix F when modifying a translation table.
