This Natural profile parameter can be used to overwrite the definitions in the scanner
character-type table NTSCTAB
, which is contained in the configuration
module NATCONFG
. SCTAB
corresponds to the
NTSCTAB
macro in the Natural
parameter module.
Possible settings | See SCTAB Parameter Syntax. | |

Dynamic specification | yes |
This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the Natural parameter
module, the macro |

Notes:
NTSCTAB
scanner character type table defines the
properties of characters used in mask definitions for the MASK
option and
recognized as delimiters in the EXAMINE
and SEPARATE
statements.
CP

is set to a value other than OFF
, values specified with
SCTAB
are ignored. See also Translation
Tables in the Unicode and Code Page Support
documentation.
The following topics are covered below:
The SCTAB
parameter is specified as follows:
SCTAB=(character1,attribute-type1,attribute-type2,...,character2,attribute-type1,attribute-type2,...) |
Note:
It is possible to specify more than one character in the list of values. You must
enclose the entire string of characters/attribute pairs in parentheses.
Or:
SCTAB=OFF |

|
The NTSCTAB
macro is specified as follows:
NTSCTAB=character,attribute-type,attribute-type... NTSCTAB=character,attribute-type,attribute-type...
Notes:
OFF
cannot be specified with the macro
NTSCTAB
, but only dynamically with the profile parameter
