in the case of a simple mapping like the one above (cp037 - 32 = 
iso_8859_1) you can write:

cp037_to_iso_8859_1( Cp037 ) -> Cp037 - 32.

if the mapping only holds for the range specified in the example you can 
use:

cp037_to_iso_8859_1( Cp037 ) when
		(Cp037 >= 129) andalso (Cp037 =< 131) ->
	Cp037 - 32.
