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