Code-set-conversion filesThe code-set-conversion file describes how to map each character in a particular source code set to the characters of a particular target code set.

Code-set-conversion file names

To conform to DOS 8.3 naming conventions, GLS code-set-conversion files use a condensed form of the code-set names, code1code2, in their file names.

The eight-character name of each code-set-conversion file is derived from the hexadecimal representation of the code-set numbers of the source code set (code1) and the target code set (code2).

For example, the ISO8859-1 code set has the HCL CCSID number of 819 in decimal and 0333 in hexadecimal. The HCL CCSID 437 code set, a common HCL UNIX™ code set, has a hexadecimal value of 01b5. Therefore, the 033301b5.cv code-set-conversion file describes the conversion from the CCSID 819 code set to the CCSID 437 code set.
