This Natural profile and session parameter specifies how fields are to be interpreted for display on terminals that support bidirectional data.
The I/O device must be able to create the correct display order depending on the character properties. This is for instance the case if an application runs in a browser under Natural Web I/O Interface. For other terminal types, this parameter does not have any effect.
| Possible settings | L |
Specifies that the data from the
application is in logical display order.
The field characters are displayed according to their character property (left-to-right or right-to-left). |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
V |
Specifies that the data from the
application is in visual order.
All fields are inverted by Natural before they are sent to the
terminal. This option is required for old applications written for terminals
which support inverse (right-to-left) print mode using profile parameter
