XES COMMAND LANGUAGE MODE
The Special Table
The Special Table is a translation table that has been designed
especially for users operating in an IBM 3274 coaxial connection
environment. It can be selected using the Language command
(selecting language G).
Note: The Special Table does not recognise control codes (i.e.,
hexadecimal values less than EBCDIC 40H) or the space character
(EBCDIC 40H). These codes must be reassigned to a valid value
in the table before they can be used.
Do not select the Special Table for systems using the ASCII
encoding.
The Special Table provides 91 codes for symbols, plus the
following predefined codes:
EBCDIC 4AH yields ASCII OCH (FF)
EBCDIC 5FH yields ASCII 15H (NL); may be used in place of
(CR) and (LF) or line end.
EBCDIC 6AH yields ASCII 1BH (ESC)
EBCDIC 79H yields ASCII 20H (space)
User defined translation tables
A user defined code assignment table can be created and
downloaded to the printer, where it remains available as an
alternate language selection (language H in the Language
command).
Translation table structure
A downloaded translation table, which is created with the
Character Reassignment command, has three parts:
• The table load initiator, which is the E+T,L part of the
command. It signals to the printer that the data following it is
a character table data.
• The table data record or records. This part of the command
contains the actual code assignment data. The data may be
sent as one long record, or as a series of records.
