Translating with a Translation Table

Two Toolkit commands are provided which allow you to translate the contents of database files using a specified translation table. The translation table may either be system-supplied (for example, QSYSTRNTBL or QCASE256) or user-defined by means of the i OS command Create Table (CRTTBL). These commands may be of use:

• When preparing an upper-case only version of an application, for instance to run under the ideographic version of i OS.
• When converting data to run under a different multinational character set.
