This Natural profile parameter allows you to overwrite the definitions in
the translation table NTTABA1 as contained in the
configuration module
NATCONFG.
This table is used for EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation.
TABA1 corresponds to the
NTTABA1 macro in the Natural parameter module
NATPARM.
| Possible settings | See TABA1 Parameter Syntax below. | |
|---|---|---|
| Default setting | As specified within the macro NTTABA1 in
NATCONFG.

| Dynamic specification | yes |
This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the Natural parameter module
|
| Specification within session | no |
The following topics are covered below:
The TABA1 parameter is specified as follows:
| TABA1=(a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...) |
You specify pairs of characters, the first character of a pair being an EBCDIC character to be translated, the second character of a pair being the ASCII character into which the EBCDIC 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.
The NTTABA1 macro is specified as follows:
| NTTABA1 a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,... |
NTTABA1 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'.
With the TABA1 parameter, you must enclose the
entire string of character pairs in parentheses, for example:
TABA1=(5E,'Ä','ö',78,FF,00,'ü','Ü')
