The TSO CONVXLAT command converts a table from editable text to binary. CONVXLAT can be used to convert both SBCS and DBCS table source data sets.
The syntax of the CONVXLAT command is:
>>-CONVXLAT--input_data_set--output_data_set--(-----------------> >--+------------------------+---------------------------------->< +-+----------+--CODEFILE-+ | +-KANJI----+ | | +-HANGEUL--+ | | +-SCHINESE-+ | | '-TCHINESE-' | '-CODEFILE--(--member--)-'
The parameters of the CONVXLAT command are:
- input_data_set
- Specifies the source data set name to be converted. The data set name must be enclosed in quotation marks if fully qualified; otherwise the TSO user ID is appended as a prefix.
- output_data_set
- Specifies the destination data set name created by the conversion.
The data set name must be enclosed in quotation marks if fully qualified;
otherwise the TSO user ID is appended as a prefix.
Rule: If CODEFILE is also specified, then output_data_set must specify a previously allocated partitioned data set. Multiple codefile members are placed in the partitioned data set.
The data set should be allocated using the following parameters:Organization: PO Record format: VB Record length: 5124 Block size: 8800 1st extent blocks: 156 Secondary blocks: 10 - KANJI
- Specifies that the tables being converted are the Japanese DBCS translation tables.
- HANGEUL
- Specifies that the tables being converted are the Korean Standard DBCS translation tables.
- SCHINESE
- Specifies that the table being converted is the Simplified Chinese DBCS translation table.
- TCHINESE
- Specifies that the table being converted is the Traditional Chinese DBCS translation table.
- CODEFILE
- Specifies that the selected table is converted to multiple codefiles for use in Telnet 3270 DBCS transform mode. The selected table must be DBCS translation table.
- CODEFILE(member)
- Specifies that the selected SBCS table is converted to two codefiles:
ASCII_To_EBCDIC and EBCDIC_To_ASCII. The member names in the output
PDS are memberATE and memberETA.
The following names are possible member names:
- J8E
- JIS 8 Bit English
- J8K
- JIS 8 Bit Katakana
- A8E
- 8 Bit English
- A8K
- 8 Bit Katakana
- SJDCE
- DEC English SBCS
- SJDCK

- SHAN
- Hangeul SBCS
- STCH
- Traditional Chinese SBCS
- SBG5
- Big-5 SBCS
- SSCH
- Simplified Chinese SBCS
If no optional parameters are specified, the input data set is assumed to contain an SBCS translation table.
