CONVERT

Chapter 2 47

The operating system has encountered an error while

processing the verb. The operating system return code

is returned through the

secondary_rc

. If the problem

persists, consult the System Administrator for

corrective action.

For the meaning of the operating system return code,

see the ﬁle /usr/include/errno.h (HP-UX systems)

or to your operating system documentation (Windows

systems).

Creating a Type-G Conversion Table

You can use the GET_CP_CONVERT_TABLE verb to build a type-G,

user-written conversion table. The GET_CP_CONVERT_TABLE verb is

described in detail later in this chapter.

The table must be an ASCII ﬁle 32 lines long. Each line must consist of

32 hexadecimal digits, representing 16 characters. The ﬁrst 16 lines (256

characters) specify the EBCDIC characters to which ASCII characters

are converted; the remaining 16 lines specify the ASCII characters to

which EBCDIC characters are converted.

For SNAplus2, the hexadecimal digits A–F can be either uppercase or

lowercase. However, you may want to make these digits uppercase to

ensure compatibility with IBM's OS/2 Extended Edition.

The ﬁle /opt/snatblg.dat delivered with SNAplus2 contains a sample

type-G conversion table which converts the ﬁrst 127 characters of an

ASCII code page to EBCDIC. Here is a listing of that ﬁle:
