Definition of Your Own Tables

For other conversions besides standard ASCII to EBCDIC, you can define new tables. The provided table can be altered, or a completely new table can be defined.

For example, if you want to change the EBCDIC to ASCII translation of X’DE’ to X’A3’. In the bottom half of the default table this translates to X’FA’. After the change, the table is as follows:

If you also want the reverse conversion, you change the ASCII to EBCDIC section. Therefore, in the top half of the table, you can find row Ax and column x3 and change the value to X’DE’.
