Important:
The TS
parameter applies only to primary
output (CMPRINT
, see
Natural in Batch
Mode in the Operations
documentation).
This Natural profile and session parameter is used to translate output
from Natural system libraries (that is, libraries whose names begin with
SYS
) using a translation table. This may be necessary for
locations which have non-standard lower-case usage (for example, Middle East or
Far East countries).
Error messages or warnings are translated if the English version of the text is displayed. If the text is displayed in the local language (for example, Hebrew), it is not translated into upper-case characters. The translation of messages and warnings does not depend on the library from where the program is executed.
Within a Natural session, the profile parameter TS
can be overridden by the session parameter TS
.

Note:
The translation table can be modified with the
NTTABL
macro or the corresponding dynamic profile parameter TABL
.
All Natural
under IMS TM messages are translated into upper case if
TS=ON
is specified in the Natural session.
All messages in the Natural RPC server trace are translated into upper
case if TS=ON
is specified in the Natural RPC server session. The
trace of the data from/to the client is not affected by TS=ON
and
remains unchanged.
In addition to honoring TS=ON
, several Natural components
provide an UCTRAN
parameter to provide for translation
of messages into upper case, even if the setting of the
TS
parameter is not (or not yet) available. These
components are:
Natural Remote Procedure Call
See Startup Parameters in z/OS Batch Mode and Startup Parameters under CICS in the Natural Remote Procedure Call (RPC) documentation.
For the Natural Development Server, the configuration parameter
UPPERCASE_SYSTEMMESSAGES
with similar functionality is
available, for details, see Configuring the Natural Development
Server in the Natural Development Server
documentation.
