NAME

atoe,etoa − Translate input from ASCII to EBCDIC, or EBCDIC to ASCII. 

USAGE

atoe etoa

DESCRIPTION

atoe and etoa are utilities which copy their stdin to stdout translating all the bytes from ASCII to EBCDIC or EBCDIC to ASCII. 

atoe and etoa assume nothing about the input file format, with regard to new-lines or any other record format.  It simply copies the bytes (performing the translation) to the output file. 

The ASCII/EBCDIC translation employed is identical to that used by the other SAS/C 370 tools. 

EXAMPLE

cat foo | atoe > bar
The input file (foo) is copied to standard out (bar), with ASCII values in foo translated to EBCDIC.

RETURN VALUE

atoe and etoa return 0 if they encounter no errors, or >0 if problems occur. 

FILES

atoe      ASCII/EBCDIC translation utility etoa      EBCDIC/ASCII translation utility

These utilities use the same translation tables as the other SAS/C Cross Platform products.
