1  ICONV
  An OpenVMS XPG4 localization utility that:

   o  Compiles conversion table files.  A conversion table file
      defines how characters in one codeset are converted to
      characters in another codeset (ICONV COMPILE)

   o  Converts characters from one codeset to another (ICONV
      CONVERT)


  For more information on the XPG4 utilities, including file
  formats, see the DEC C Run-Time Library Utilities Reference Manual.
 
  Also see help for the related commands GENCAT and LOCALE.

  Format:

       ICONV option

2 COMPILE

  Creates a conversion table file from a conversion source file.
  The conversion table file is used by ICONV CONVERT to convert
  characters in a file from one codeset to another.

  Format:

       ICONV COMPILE sourcefile tablefile

3 Parameters

  sourcefile

    The file specification of the conversion source file.  The
    default file type is .ISRC.  The file naming convention Digital
    uses for conversion source files is:

    fromcodeset_tocodeset.isrc

  tablefile

    The file specification of the conversion table file to be
    created.  The default file type is .ICONV.  The file naming
    convention for conversion table files is:

    fromcodeset_tocodeset.iconv

    Public conversion table files are in the directory defined by
    the logical name SYS$I18N_ICONV.  Put new conversion table files
    in the same directory if you want to make them available
    system-wide.

2 CONVERT

  Converts characters in a file from one codeset to another codeset.
  The converted characters are written to an output file.

  Format:

       ICONV CONVERT infile outfile

3 Parameters

  infile

    The file specification of the file that contains the characters
    to be converted.  (Use the /FROMCODE qualifier to specify the
    codeset of the characters in this file.)

  outfile

    The file specification of the file created by ICONV CONVERT.
    (Use the /TOCODE qualifier to specify the codeset of the
    characters in this file.)

3 Qualifiers

  /FROMCODE=fromcodeset

    A required qualifier that specifies the codeset of the
    characters in the input file (infile).

  /TOCODE=tocodeset

    A required qualifier that specifies the codeset of the
    characters in the output file (outfile).

    Public conversion table files are in the directory defined by
    the logical name SYS$I18N_ICONV.  Put new conversion table files
    in the same directory if you want to make them available
    system-wide.
