Hi group,

Is it possible to define my own CCSID translation table?

In the past I did use the code pages with the QDCXLATE api, but now I am
faced with UTF-8 ccsid and need to do a translation from accented
characters (french, german, etc) to simple characters.

Since I can not find a matching CCSID I am looking on building my own,
but fail to find any references, except some references in CICS.

Kind regards,

Loek Maartens.

For SBCS at least, you can create your own translate source. This example
doesn't do any translation. You need to positionally enter the
hexidecimal codepoints to translate to:

The ordinal position value determines the result. I've never tried to
accommodate a DBCS, so can't help there.

Once that's done, run the CRTTBL command and you have your translate
table.
