Translating Table Statements

This is the byte-mapping table definition. Any number of mapping tables can be defined, as long as each one has a unique table name. Usually a different table is used for inbound (to host) and outbound (from host) translation.

Use the following format to enter a table statement entry in the Session Persistence Server configuration:

table [table name]
<source byte 1>=<destination byte 1>
<source byte 2>=<destination byte 2>
<source byte n>=<destination byte n>

For each table statement entry, the first line should provide a name for the table, and then each additional line maps a source byte to a destination byte. The host service translate-fromhost and translate-tohost keywords refer to the table using this name.

Do not use spaces around the ‘=’. The source and destination byte can either be an ASCII character or an escaped-byte value.

The following is a mapping example:

Table Table1
%00=? //Replaces a NUL with a question mark
==%20 //Replaces an equal sign with an ASCII blank
1=%f1 //Replaces an ASCII 1 with an EBCDIC 1
