The Convert Display Data  command converts character data to  a minimum
character  set that  can  be displayed.    The command  is  useful when
displaying  data  and  the  format  is  unknown  and  may  contain  bit
representations that cause display control functions to occur.

A typical command is entered as:

        CVTDSPDTA     INPUT(&INPUT) OUTPUT(&OUTPUT)

The INPUT value may be up to 5000 bytes in length.

The OUTPUT return  variable must  be declared as  *CHAR LEN(128).   The
OUTPUT2 parameter  may be used in addition  or in place of  and must be
declared as *CHAR LEN(5000).

The  character set  used is  defined in  the CL  program.   It contains
upper and lower case A-Z,  the digits 0-9 and many special  characters.
It can be modified to suit specific needs.

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

   INPUT         The input  variable.  It  can be  up to 5000  bytes in
                 length.

   OUTPUT        The  output or return  variable.  This  is an optional
                 return variable  that if  used  must be  specified  as
                 *CHAR LEN(128).

   OUTPUT2       The second  output  or return  variable.   This is  an
                 optional  return   variable  that  if   used  must  be
                 specified as *CHAR LEN(5000).

Restrictions
------------

Because  the  command  provides  a  return  variable,  it  can  only be
executed in a CL program.

Prerequisites
-------------

The following TAA Tools must be on your system:

     SCNVAR       Scan variable

Implementation
--------------

None, the tool is ready to use.
