Special Character (04/SC)

If the text file that you transfer contains letters or special characters that are not recognized by the bank, you can add them to UDC 04/SC and replace them with the value that is specified in the processing option for the Copy Bank File to Diskette program (P0457D).

Unlike most UDC codes, the system does not use the code that you specify in this UDC; it uses the characters that you define in the Description 1 field. You can specify up to 30 characters in the Description 1 field, and if you need more, you can add another code and specify additional characters in the Description 1 field for that code. The system replaces all values in the Description 1 field for all codes with the value in the processing option.

For example, if you enter!@#$% in the Description 1 field and enter / in the value of the corresponding processing option, the system replaces every instance of !, @, #, $, and % in the text file with /.

Note: To replace characters with blank, leave the processing option for Replacement Character blank. If you do not want to use replacement characters, do not set up any codes in UDC 04/SC.
