UTAB1 Parameter Syntax

The UTAB1 parameter is specified as follows:

UTAB1=(a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...)

You specify pairs of characters, the first character of a pair being a lower-case character to be translated, the second character of a pair being the upper-case character into which the lower-case character is to be translated.

You can specify each character either as the one-byte character itself (enclosed in apostrophes) or as the two-byte hexadecimal representation of that character.
