Report 1. Power Exchange Control Table for Simple Code Pages

This report displays a list of all simple code pages. Simple code pages are static single-byte code pages that provide a fast translation facility with the following limitations:

You can translate data between static code pages, but you cannot translate between static and ICU code pages.

You can use only a one-to-one mapping between characters, however you cannot use a one-to-many or many-to-one mapping between characters.

Static single-byte code pages are defined in the range of 1 to 40. User-defined static code pages are defined in the range of 31 to 40.

When translating between code pages, such as from CPN 1 “ISO-8859” to CPN 3 “IBM-037,” the operating system builds a translation table of 256 bytes that contains the appropriate target values. To translate a particular value such as x'31', the system finds the value x'31' in the translation table and uses the translated value that is stored for it, x'F1'.

On systems that do not support ICU processing, static code pages provide the facility to translate between code pages. Each static code page must have an equivalent ICU code page that is used if the other code page is ICU. For example, if you move data from CPN 3 “IBM-37” to CPN 41 “UTF-8,” the system converts from CPN 183 “ibm-37_P100-1995” to CPN 41 “UTF-8.”

The following report is a sample PowerExchange control table for simple code pages report:
