Overview of Code Converter
The Data Exchange Code Converter, running on the HP storage system using HP File Exchange (FX),
moves data from Mainframe systems to UNIX-based or PC-based servers. It enables the modification
of data, including code conversion of various double-bytes characters. It incorporates functions such
as standard IBM double-byte code conversion. It is supported by the Data Exchange File Conversion
Utility (FCU).
The purpose of implementing the Data Exchange Code Converter is to build a Mainframe/Server
data exchange system, without the user having to develop such a converter, as with IBM's double-byte
code conversion.
Data Exchange Code Converter Process
The Data Exchange Code Converter is a UOC (user's own coding) function, which is called from the
File Conversion Utility. The positioning of the Code Converter and an outline of its operation is shown
in Figure 1 for the mto (Mainframe to open) conversion, and in Figure 2 for the otm (open to Mainframe)
conversion.
