7、verBS6429:1989 ii BSI 10-1999 National foreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Information Systems Technology Standards Policy Committee and is identical with ISO6936:1988 “Information processing Conversion between the two coded character sets of ISO646 and ISO693
8、7-2 and the CCITT international telegraph alphabet No.2 (ITA2)” published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This British Standard is a revision of the1983 edition to include the coded character set of BS6692-2 (ISO6937-2). BS6429:1983 is withdrawn. The Technical Committee
9、has reviewed the provisions of the following CCITT recommendations to which reference is made in the text and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this British Standard.

15、es for conversion between the58 characters (including control functions) of the CCITT International Telegraph Alphabet No.2 (CCITT Recommendation F.1) and the characters of the ISO646 and ISO6937-2 coded character sets. This International Standard does not specify whether small or capital letters wi
16、ll be used to represent the alphabetic characters of ITA2. This International Standard is expected to facilitate interworking between, for example, the international telex service and terminals in data networks in cases where the telex character repertoire is sufficient. 2 Normative references The f

21、onversion 3.1 Conversion from ITA2 to ISO646 or ISO6937-2 The conversion of characters shall be as specified in Table 1. Characters for which there are no direct equivalents shall be represented by the graphical representation of the substitute character SUB, unless prior agreement has been made bet
22、ween the interchange parties. NOTEAnnex A, together with Table A.1, provides information on alternative conversions which are in general use in some countries. 3.2 Conversion from ISO646 or ISO6937-2 to ITA2 The conversion of the characters of ISO646 or the characters of the primary set of ISO6937-2
23、 shall be as specified in Table 2. The non-spacing characters in the supplementary set of ISO6937-2 shall be removed from the character string; all other characters in the supplementary set shall be represented by the single character QUESTION MARK. The control characters of positions0/1,0/2,0/3,0/4
24、, 0/6,1/0,1/5,1/6,1/7 and7/15 are generally not converted because they are removed from the character string by the link control equipment or by convention. Characters for which there are no direct equivalents shall be represented by the single character, QUESTION MARK, unless prior agreement has be
25、en made between the interchange parties. NOTE 1The greater number of code combinations available in ISO646 or ISO6937-2 means that not every character can be translated unambiguously into a single ITA2 character. Use of a single character, rather than a multi-character representation will minimize f
26、ormatting problems. NOTE 2Annex A, together with Table A.2, provides information on some alternative conversions which are in use in some countries. 1) CCITT Recommendation T.50 is equivalent to ISO646. 2) CCITT Recommendation T.51 is equivalent to ISO6937-2.BS6429:1989 2 BSI 10-1999 Table 1 Convers

If the last shift that occurred differs from the next one
33、 required, it is essential for the converted character to be preceded by the appropriate shift character. This operation is necessary each time a change of shift is required.

34、 (informative) Alternative conversions between ISO646 and ITA2 A.1 This International Standard (see note to3.1 and note 2 to3.2) permits alternative conversions for characters which have no direct equivalents, provided these conversions are agreed between interchange parties. Other alternatives may
35、be used. A.2 Table A.1 and Table A.2 list conversions which are in use in some countries. A.3 In some nationally adapted applications of ITA2 and ISO646 specified conversion rules are required because national characters have been allocated in different order in the coded character sets concerned.
