Command creates a Progress© codepage conversion table (convmap.dat). A simple text file is used as source.
procpg [-h | ?] [ -[X [Y]] ] [-i] [-s] [-g | input_file]
Command creates a Progress codepage conversion table (convmap.dat). Utility takes a simple text file for input. Input file consist of two columns separated by one or more spaces:
| source_code_1 | destination_code_1 |
| source_code_2 | destination_code_2 |
| ... | ... |
| source_code_N | destination_code_N |
Source and destination codes may be in one of the following formats: decimal, hexadecimal, html numeric character reference (like 'ϼ'), character (the byte value of character is used).
When needed and it is possible utility may add some conversions to create an "inverse" table.
Utility is written in C. Tested under Linux, AIX, DOS.
| -h | ? | Show help |
| -X | input file source code data type, default is character |
| Y | input file destination code data type, default is character |
| -i | change table values in a way that table become an inverse codepage table |
| -s | create table in a C source format |
| -g | create an input file with no conversion: value of entry 127 is 127, value of entry 128 is 128 and so on |
| input_file | name of input file |
| c | - character, there is no way to present a space character |
| d | - decimal value |
| x | - hexadecimal value |
| e | - html numeric character reference, for example ÿ or ÿ |
"Inverse" means that no one code is lost after converting to destination code and backwards.
For example, there are two lithuanian codepages: source table is KBL and destination table is LT772. In forward conversion KBL code 253 is converted to LT772 code 254. If we had inverse table, backward conversion of code 254 from LT772 to KBL would return code 253. If backward conversion returns any other code, code 195 for example, the codepage table is not inverse.
Destination code is considered as lost code in backward conversion when more than one source code points to the same destination code in forward conversion. In theese cases having destination code there is no possibility to say which code of the two were the source code.
Source code is considered as empty code when no one code points to it in backward conversion.
For example:
LT722 code 254 is considered as "lost" code, KBL code 252 is considered as "empty" one.
procpg -cdi kbl_772.txt > kbl_772.dat
procpg -cdis kbl_772.txt > kbl_772.c
procpg -cx kbl_utf.txt > kbl_utf.dat
procpg -xe -gs > empty.txt
