This Natural profile parameter allows you to overwrite the definitions in
the translation table NTTAB2 as contained in the
configuration module
NATCONFG. The
NTTAB2 table is the alternate input translation table
for the secondary character set used when the profile/session parameter
PM is set to
PM=C.
TAB2 corresponds to the
NTTAB2
macro in the Natural parameter module
NATPARM.
| Possible settings | See TAB2 Parameter Syntax below. | |
|---|---|---|
| Default setting | As specified within the macro NTTAB2 in
NATCONFG.
|
|
| Dynamic specification | yes | This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the Natural
parameter module NATPARM, the macro
NTTAB2 must be used instead.
|
| Specification within session | no |
The following topics are covered below:
The TAB2 parameter is specified as follows:
| TAB2=(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 two-byte hexadecimal representation of that character.
The NTTAB2 macro is specified as follows:
| NTTAB2 a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,... |
NTTAB2 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 TAB2 parameter, you must enclose the entire string of character pairs in parentheses, for example:
TAB2=(5E,'Ä','ö',78,FF,00,'ü','Ü')
