IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Programming: Pipes - IBM notice

Examples
E2A
Specifies that EBCDIC characters are translated to ASCII. EBCDIC code set
IBM-1047 and ASCII code set ISO 8859-1 are used. Use XLATE COMMON to
remove format control characters (for example, line feed, new line, and end of
file) before you translate host messages to ASCII.
LOWER
Specifies that the standard 26 Latin letters are translated to lowercase.
Example: Removing Characters Using PIPE XLATE COMMON
The following is an example of using PIPE XLATE COMMON to remove
characters that cannot be translated before converting EBCDIC text to ASCII text:
’PIPE NETV LIST STATUS=TASKS’,
’| XLATE COMMON’,
’| XLATE E2A’,
’| NETV SOCKET TYPE=SEND SOCKID=0’,
’| WAIT 5’,
’| CONS’
Example: Translating Text to ASCII Prior to Using the SOCKET
Command
The following is an example of translating text to ASCII prior to using the
SOCKET command:
’PIPE (NAME SENDto0)’, /* send on socket ID 0*/
’| VAR data_string’, /* EBCDIC data to send*/
’| XLATE E2A’, /* convert to ASCII */
’| NETV SOCKET TYPE=SEND SOCKID=0 ’, /*send ASCII data*/
’| WAIT MOE 5’, /* wait for result */
’| STEM msgsock.’ /* msgs about send */
PIPE XLATE
Example: Translating an ASCII Value to EBCDIC
The following sample PIPE command translates the data taken from the linedata
variable from ASCII to EBCDIC and stores the translated data back into the linedata
variable:
’PIPE | VAR linedata | XLATE A2E |VAR linedata’
