JIS/EBCDIK Conversion Table

This table is sorted by character code, each code being represented by its decimal, octal,

and hexadecimal equivalent. Each row of the table gives the JIS and EBCDIK meaning of

the character code, the JIS <-> EBCDIK conversion code, and the Hollerith representation

(punched card code) for the JIS and EBCDIK character. The Hollerith code given in this

table is YHP Hollerith and is not equivalent to JIS Hollerith. To determine the JIS

Hollerith code, see the Hollerith column in table C-1.

Examples

The following examples describe several ways of using the table.

Example 1

Suppose you want to determine the JIS code for the S character. Scan down the JIS

graphic column until you locate $, then look left on that row to ﬁnd the character code -36

(dec), 044 (oct), and 24 (hex). This is the code used by a JIS device (terminal, printer,

computer, etc.) to represent the S character. Its Hollerith punched card code is 11-3-8.

Example 2

Suppose you want to ﬁnd out what EBCDIK character the character code 5B (hex)

represents. You also want to know the octal character code when 5B is converted to JIS (for

example, by FCOPY with the EBCDIKIN option). First, locate 5B in the hex character code

column and look right on that row to the EBCDIK graphic, which is $. The next column to

the right gives the conversion to JIS, 044. As a check, ﬁnd 044 (oct) in the character code

column, look right to the JIS graphic column and you see that $ converted to EBCDIK is 133

(oct), which equals 5B (hex).
