This Natural profile parameter allows you to overwrite the definitions in
the translation table NTTABA2
as contained in the
configuration module
NATCONFG
.
This table is used for ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation.
TABA2
corresponds to the
NTTABA2
macro in the Natural parameter module NATPARM
.
Possible settings | See TABA2 Parameter Syntax below. | |
---|---|---|
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
|
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.
The NTTABA2
macro is specified as follows:
NTTABA2 a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,... |
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'
.
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')
