5. Translate Table Utility (TTU)
The TTU Utility is used to modify EBCDIC-to-REGEN tables which are needed to translate
3270 host data for presentation to attached devices. Up to two sets of the translate tables may
be created, referred to as User-Defined 1 and User-Defined 2. The corresponding REGEN-to-
EBCIDIC tables will automatically be created.
After all desired translate table changes are made, press PF10-Done to advance the display to
the TTU Complete panel. From this panel, the modified tables may be saved to the desired
System disk. The saved tables may be associated with either the Primary or Secondary language
on the Language Options panel in Configuration.
Note that it is possible to create TTUs without using them online. If a TTU data object exists
on the disk used for IML, but the Translate Tables field(s) on the Language Options panel is
set to Default, then the TTU data object will not be applied to the translate tables, and an error
will be logged. IML will proceed using the default translate tables.
Note: the Language Options panel is after the General Options panel on the Configuration
main menu.
