Problem

-How to get help to implementing CHARSET translation on CFT for z/os

-Characters translation with CFT, what is the best approch

Resolution

Available with Transfer CFT for z/os, 2 main JCL tools are delivered to help in implementing character translation.

Check both CFTXLATE and PRXSYS from the installation library.

CFTXLATE will assist in the creation of a user XLATE table and the associated CFT parameters. It allows an XLATE table to be built from a source and target char-set (page code) as long as both the source and the target uses SBCS (Single Byte Character Set)

PRXSYS will assist in getting the full char-set list available on the system. It provides easy steps to test a char-set translation on a character string or on a full file.

PRXSYS provide additional features to help in gathering system and network details useful when working on performances. It also includes a step for XLATE input file generation.

Note:

Both JCL are intended to be use as tools to assist in some steps in implementing Transfer CFT flows. Both are delivered as is and only with Transfer CFT for z/os.
