Appendix A - Message Characters
Table A 1 lists the characters that are permitted in the message text of QTRACS messages. Each entry in the table consists of two fields. The first field is the hexadecimal value of the character and the second field is the corresponding EBCDIC character.
This table represents the characters that are valid to QTRACS/400. This is not a table of valid OmniTRACS (transmittable) characters.
