Code page translation

Since CP 01047 contains all of the standard Latin-1 characters, it is possible to translate the character codes from the CP 01047 charset to ISO 8859-1 character codes, so that translation back to the CP 01047 charset is an exact value-preserving round-trip conversion. Likewise, half of the control character codes can be translated into their exact ASCII equivalents. If the remaining EBCDIC-only control characters are translated (arbitrarily) into the remaining unused ASCII codes points (hex 80 to 9F) as well, the resulting translation covers all of the 256 character code points. Such a conversion table (for translating from CP 01047 to ISO 8859-1) is shown below:
