Procedure

To create a customized default character set that will translate all lowercase ASCII characters to uppercase EBCDIC characters

1. From the command prompt, type

   COPY %XCOM_HOME%\CONVTAB\ATOE.TAB conversionfilename
   

   %XCOM_HOME%\CONVTAB\ATOE.TAB is copied to a new file and named conversionfilename.

   Note:

   • conversionfilename can be any name you choose.
   • %XCOM_HOME% is an environment variable.
2. Use an editor that generates ASCII text to open the file and copy the values from lines 66 to 91 to lines 98 to 123.

   Note: The decimal ASCII code for a is 98 and the decimal ASCII code for z is 123.

   The values in lines 98 to 123 are changed to represent uppercase EBCDIC characters.

3. Save the file as an ASCII text file and exit the editor.
4. To use this custom default character set, change the parameter value for ATOE_FILENAME in XCOM.GLB and then restart XCOMD to activate this change.
