DO - Display Order of Output Data

This Natural profile and session parameter specifies how fields are to be interpreted for display on terminals that support bidirectional data.

Possible settings L Specifies that the data from the application is in logical display order.

Note:
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.

Notes:

  1. All fields are inverted by Natural before they are sent to the terminal.
  2. This option is required for old applications written for terminals which support inverse (right-to-left) print mode, activated by profile parameter PM=I or terminal command %VON.
Default setting L  
Dynamic specification yes  
Specification within session yes Applicable statement: SET GLOBALS
Applicable command: GLOBALS

Notes:

  1. 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.
  2. For detailed information on how to use the setting PM=I, see Bidirectional Language Support in the Unicode and Code Page Support documentation.
