This Natural profile parameter allows you to overwrite the definitions in the
ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation table NTTABA2
as contained in the
configuration module NATCONFG
. TABA2
corresponds
to the NTTABA2
macro in the Natural parameter
module.
Possible settings | See TABA2 Parameter Syntax. | |
---|---|---|
Default setting | As specified within the macro
NTTABA2 in NATCONFG .
|
|
Dynamic specification | yes | This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the Natural parameter
module, the macro NTTABA2 is used instead.
|
Specification within session | no |
The following topics are covered below:
The TABA2
parameter is specified as follows:
TABA2=(a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...) |
You specify pairs of characters, the first character of a pair being an ASCII character to be translated, the second character of a pair being the EBCDIC character into which the ASCII character is to be translated.
You can specify each character either as the one-byte character itself (enclosed in apostrophes) or as the two-byte hexadecimal representation of that character.
Or:
TABA2=OFF |
With TABA2=OFF
all (static and dynamic) definitions are reset to the values
specified within the macro NTTABA2
in NATCONFG
.
The NTTABA2
macro is specified as follows:
NTTABA2 a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...
Notes:
OFF
cannot be specified with the macro
NTTABA2
, but only dynamically with the profile parameter
TABA2
.
With the TABA2
parameter, you must enclose the entire string of
character pairs in parentheses, for example:
TABA2=(5E,'Ä','ö',78,FF,00,'ü','Ü')
NTTABA2 5E,'Ä','ö',78,FF,00,'ü','Ü'
In this example, the character represented by H'5E'
is translated into
'Ä'
, 'ö'
into the character represented by H'78'
,
the character represented by H'FF'
into the character represented by
H'00'
, and 'ü'
into 'Ü'
.
