Re: Automatic generation of transcoding tables for IND$FILE #rexx #VMCE

 

Work In Progress: support for CMS, first successful tests. Generated tables are almost identical, files differ in minor things. This means it is not necessary any more to have REXX available on the ASCII side.

See Screenhot.

How to use it ?
?1) Make sure that Hercules "codepage 819/1047" is in effect
?2) Make sure that "DEFAULT IND$MAP A" is empty (comments only)
?3) Use IND$FILE to transfer "EBCDIC MEMO Y" from CMS to the ASCII side
?4) Transfer back to CMS this very file by reader or tape, set "codepage 819/1047" where needed
?5) Remove unwanted header lines (if any) and save file to "EBCDIC MEMO A1"
?6) Run "INDMAP EXEC", output is written to "EBCDIC IND$MAP A1"

This preliminary version does not process command line arguments yet, file names are fixed:
?input 1 = "EBCDIC MEMO Y"
?input 2 = "EBCDIC MEMO A"
?output = "EBCDIC IND$MAP A1"
No other code pages than 819/1047 are supported now.
