Using data conversion tables

The routines that the compiler, preprocessor, library, and debugger use to convert from ASCII to EBCDIC and from EBCDIC to ASCII are found in DLL files.

For Windows, the routines are found in these two files:

The source for these routines, including the tables that they use, is shipped with the product so that you can use different tables if necessary. You might want to replace the tables if files are translated from EBCDIC to ASCII as you download them using a table different than the one we ship.

The names of the conversion routines are IBMPBE2A (EBCDIC to ASCII) and IBMPBA2E (ASCII to EBCDIC). Do not change the names of the files shipped with the product.

Definition files are also supplied with the product:

For Windows, the definition files are:

You should use these definition files when creating the corresponding DLLs.
