DBCS Translation Table
Personal Communications maps 1390/1399 code pages as follows:
  • 1390-->UCS2
  • UCS2-->1390
  • 1399-->UCS2
  • UCS2-->1399
  • 1399-->943
  • 943-->1390

Personal Communications loads a different translation table for display.

Personal Communications handles the Unicode printing both for GDI mode and PDT mode.
Data and File Transfer
File transfer uses the EBCDIC<-->UNICODE (or EBCDIC<-->ASCII ) translation for Host to PC. The user can save as an ASCII file or as a Unicode file.
User Defined Area (UDA) Support
Personal Communications handles EBCDIC<-->UNICODE (UDC), which is different from EBCDIC <--> ASCII. The DBCS UDA mapping table editor handles UNICODE<--> EBCDIC UDA.
JIS2004 Support
JIS2004 support can be enabled by selecting host code page "1390 Japan Katakana Extended(JIS2004)" and "1399 Japan Latin Extended(JIS2004)". The 1390/1399 JIS2004 code pages support all features as described above except for the following two features, that will not support surrogate characters:
  • PDT mode printing
  • Record and play macros
