| Data Editor supports Data Files in ASCII and EBCDIC.
Since data displayed on the screen is in ASCII, Data Files in some other
code systems must be converted before the files can be displayed or stored.
The following are system code converting patterns: |

| Data Editor
supports both ASCII and EBCDIC. In Data
Editor, a non-character code in the same code system causes an error.
If both the source and destination code systems are ASCII, a tab
character (0x09) does not cause an error. |
|
EBCDIC and ASCII code conversions that differ from the general code conversion specification are provided below. |
Replacement by alternative characters
| EBCDIC (Kana) |
b (4F) |
(4A) |
I (5A) |
(5F) |
| ASCII |
] (5D) |
[ (5B) * |
! (21) * |
^ (5E) |
|
*: "[" and "!" of ASCII are
interchanged in typical code conversion. |
