<p>The Convert Data (QDCXLATE) API converts data through the use of a table
object. (If you need to convert the case of your data, it is recommended that
you use the <a href="QLGCNVCS.htm">Convert Case</a> (QLGCNVCS, QlgConvertCase
API.) You also can use the equivalent API QTBXLATE to achieve the same
function. The call interface to QTBXLATE is identical to Convert Data
(QDCXLATE).</p>
<p>You can create the conversion table that QDCXLATE uses for the conversion,
or you can use an IBM-supplied table. The IBM-supplied tables can be found in
the QUSRSYS library. For a list of both the conversion tables and the casing
tables, see the <a href="../nls/rbagsglobalmain.htm">Globalization</a> topic in
the iSeries Information Center. These tables are not the same as those used by
the intersystem communications function (ICF) for conversion support. For
information on this, see <a href="../rzab6/rzab6soxoverview.htm">Sockets
Programming</a>.</p>
<p>You can create your own conversion tables using the Create Table (CRTTBL)
command.</p>
<p>When the QDCXLATE API is called with parameters 1, 2, 3, and 4, it converts
single-byte data. When all parameters are specified, DBCS conversion is taking
place.</p>
<p>The QDCXLATE API can distinguish double-byte from single-byte characters
when converting from EBCDIC to ASCII and from ASCII to EBCDIC if the proper
parameters have been supplied. The QDCXLATE API converts data byte for byte and
returns the converted data to your program.</p>
<p>When only single-byte data is converted, the input (unconverted) data is
replaced with the converted data. When double-byte data is converted, the
converted data is placed in the output data parameter.</p>
<p>The QDCXLATE API is thread safe only when converting single-byte data or
T.61 data.</p>

<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Length of data being converted</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; PACKED(5,0)
<p>The length of the data being converted. This value cannot exceed
32&nbsp;767.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Conversion data</strong></dt>
<dd>I/O; CHAR(*)
<p>The data to be converted. This buffer also contains the output data after
conversion when the API is called with only the required parameter group.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>SBCS conversion table name</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>The name of the single-byte character set (SBCS) conversion table to be
used. The table may be a system-supplied or user-supplied conversion table. The
table name must be left-justified.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This parameter is ignored when the DBCS language
parameter is set to *BG5, *KSC, *SCGS *J90X5026, *J90X5035, or *SCGBK.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Optional Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>SBCS conversion table library name</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>The name of the library that contains the SBCS conversion table. The library
name must be left-justified. If this parameter is not specified, the library
list is used to locate the conversion table. This parameter is ignored when the
DBCS language parameter is set to *BG5, *KSC, *SCGS, *J90X5026, *J90X5035 or
*SCGBK.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Output data</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; CHAR(*)
<p>The output buffer that contains the double-byte character set (DBCS) data
that was converted.</p>
<p>Because of the insertion of shift-out and shift-in characters, it is
possible that the converted data is longer than the source data. If this is the
case, it is not possible to do the conversion in place, as is done when you use
only a required-parameter-group call. The converted data is then placed in the
area pointed to by this parameter.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of output buffer</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; PACKED(5,0)
<p>The size of the output data buffer. The maximum length should match the
actual size of the output data parameter. If the converted output is longer
than the length of output buffer parameter, an exception is signaled.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of converted data</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; PACKED(5,0)
<p>The actual length of the converted output in the output data parameter.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>DBCS language</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>The DBCS language that is being converted. All values must be padded on the
right with blanks. The possible values follow:</p>
