This Natural profile parameter allows you to overwrite the definitions in
the translation table NTTAB as contained in the
configuration module
NATCONFG. The
NTTAB table is the standard output translation
table.
TAB corresponds to the NTTAB macro
in the Natural parameter module
NATPARM.
| Possible settings | See TAB Parameter Syntax below. | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 NATPARM, the macro
NTTAB must be used instead.
|
| Specification within session | no |
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.
The NTTAB macro is specified as follows:
| NTTAB a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,... |
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'.
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')
