Abstract
A method for converting a multi-byte dataword in a first extended interchange code to a multi-byte dataword in a second extended interchange code is disclosed. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, multiple offset arrays and a conversion matrix are provided. Each entry in each of the offset arrays contains an offset index for indexing to the conversion matrix. First, an index value is returned from a corresponding one of the offset arrays, for each byte of a multi-byte dataword in a first interchange code. Then, all of the returned index values are added together to obtain a multi-byte dataword in a second interchange code from the conversion matrix.
