Chapter 5 CST Manager And EBCDIC
CST Manager And EBCDIC
In addition to the standard ASCII character set commonly used for printing,
many applications use the EBCDIC character set. The CST Manger is
specifically designed to work with ASCII. To work with EBCDIC coded files,
characters in the Input and Output strings need to be entered in their EBCDIC
representation. Since the CST Manager does not have an EBCDIC view
mode, these entries must be entered in hex.
EBCDIC/ASCII Table
To help in creating EBCDIC CSTs, refer to the following table for Twinax,
Coax LU-1, Coax LU-3, and ASCII.
NOTE: For LU-3 in the following table: EM = End of Message,
FF = Form Feed, NL = New Line, and CR = Carriage Return.
