USCCTC, USCCTI - Converts EBCDIC character data to ASCII character
data, and vice versa
CALL USCCTC (src, isb, dest, num, npw [,val])
CALL USCCTI (src, dest, isb, num, npw [,val])
UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, and IRIX systems
On IRIX systems, this routine is in libffio.so which is linked by
default when compiling programs with the MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler
or when compiling programs with the -craylibs option to the MIPSpro
7.2 F77 compiler.
USCCTC converts EBCDIC character data to ASCII character data. USCCTI
converts ASCII character data to EBCDIC character data. All
non-printing characters are converted to blanks.
When using the CF90 compiler or MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler on
UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, or IRIX, the arguments must be of type integer with
KIND=8.
The following is a list of valid arguments for this routine.
src Variable or array of any type (except CHARACTER) containing
the character data to be converted.
isb An integer variable or constant containing the starting byte
offset to begin the data conversion. Bytes are numbered
from left to right, with the leftmost byte as byte 1. The
isb argument applies to the src (USCCTC) or dest (USCCTI)
argument.
dest Variable or array of any type (except CHARACTER) to receive
the character data to be converted.
num An integer variable or constant containing the number of
characters to be converted.
npw An integer variable or constant containing the number of
characters to be placed in each word of dest (USCCTC) or
obtained from each word of src (USCCTI). A positive value
for npw (1 to 8) indicates left-justification. A negative
value (-1 to -8) indicates right-justification. For USCCTC,
left-justified output is also blank-filled. Note that npw
values of 8 and -8 are equivalent.
val An optional integer or logical variable or constant which,
if specified and nonzero (.TRUE.), indicates that all lower
case input is to be folded to upper case output. The
default, if the argument is not specified, is no case
folding.
The following conditions must be met for any character data to be
converted:
num >= 0
isb > 0
0 < |npw| < 9
If num is not an even multiple of 8, the USCCTI routine will place the
remaining converted characters in the final word of dest while
preserving the rest of the original contents of the word.
The same variable or array can be specified for src (input) and dest
(output) if and only if isb is 1 and npw is 8 (or -8). The results of
overlapping conversions using any other values for isb and npw are
undefined.
The following Fortran code converts 800 characters from EBCDIC to
ASCII. The ASCII characters are placed one per word, right-justified.
INTEGER EBCDIC(100)
INTEGER ASCII (800)
CALL USCCTC(EBCDIC, 1, ASCII, 800, -1, .FALSE.)
