(Xlatetable, KbdHandle)

Xlatetable (PUSHORT) - input

A pointer to the translation table used to translate scan code to ASCII code for a specified handle. The format of the translate table is documented in the Set Code Page IOCTL 50H. Refer to IBM Operating System/2 Version 1.2 I/O Subsystems And Device Support Volume 1 for a complete discussion of Set Code Page IOCTL 50H.

  Remarks

  The translate table must be maintained in the caller's memory. No copy of the translate table is made by KbdSetCustXt.

  KbdSetCp reverses the action of KbdSetCustXt and sets the handle equal to one of the system translate tables. If memory is dynamically allocated by the caller for the translate table and is freed before the KbdSetCp is performed, KbdSetCp and future translations may fail.
