The genxlt utility

The genxlt utility reads a source translation file from InputFile, writes the compiled version to OutputFile, and then generates the translation load module. The source translation file provides the conversion specification from fromCodeSet to toCodeSet. The source translation file contains directives that are acted upon by the genxlt utility to produce the compiled version of the translation table.

The name of the conversion programs have the following naming conventions:

The name starts with a four letter prefix. The prefix is EDCU for non-XPLINK converters, CEHU for XPLINK converters, and CEQU for AMODE 64 converters.
The prefix is followed by the two-letter CC code that corresponds to the CodesetRegistry.CodesetEncoding name of the fromCodeSet defined in the Table 4.
The first CC code is followed by the two-letter CC code than corresponds to the CodesetRegistry.CodesetEncoding name of the toCodeSet defined in the Table 4.

To generate your own conversions, you must modify the codeset name table EDCUCSNM with the macros described in Locale naming conventions. For descriptions of the genxlt and iconv utilities, refer to z/OS XL C/C++ User's Guide. There is also a UNIX System Services iconv utility, which is described in z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.
