There are several methods for converting data to or from a shell-supported code page:

• To convert data you are typing at a 3270 terminal, you specify a conversion table other than BPXFX100 (the null conversion table) with the OMVS command. The data you type at your workstation when you are working in the shell is converted to a shell-supported code page.
• To convert data between code pages IBM-037 and IBM-1047 when you are moving the data to or from the hierarchical file system, you can use the CONVERT option on the OPUT, OGET, and OCOPY commands.
• To convert double-byte or single-byte data to a selected code page while you are working in MVS™, use the z/OS XL C/C++ iconv utility. For information on how to use this utility, see z/OS XL C/C++ User's Guide.
• To convert double-byte or single-byte data to a selected code page while you are working in the shell, use the shell iconv utility.
