The following topics are covered below:
The Natural profile parameter PM specifies how
fields are to be printed or displayed.
| Possible settings |
or combinations thereof
|
PM=C |
An alternative character set is to be used. It
can be defined by the profile parameters TAB1 and
TAB2.
|
|---|---|---|---|
PM=P |
The primary (standard) character set is to be used. | ||
PM=I |
Specifies inverse, that is, right-to-left direction (for example, for use in Middle Eastern countries). See also Notes. | ||
PM=R |
This resets the PM=I setting to
normal (left to right) display direction.
|
||
| Default setting | PR |
||
| Dynamic specification | yes | ||
| Specification within session | yes | Terminal command
%V
.
|
|
| Application programming interface | USR1005N |
||
Notes:
PM=I affects any system controlled output screen
items, that is, system variables and PF key lines. Moreover, all
non-alphanumeric fields, for example, numeric and date are affected. In
addition, for Natural Web I/O Interface terminals the field sequence is changed
from left to right into right to left. The field inversion routine is supplied
as assembler module NATPM in the Natural source library and can be
modified in case of need.
PM=I, see
Bidirectional Language Support in
the Unicode and Code Page Support documentation.
This session parameter PM is used to indicate how
fields are to be displayed.
| Possible settings | PM=C |
An alternative character set is
used (see the module NATPM in the Natural source library).
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
PM=D |
Defines DBCS-only fields that do not contain shift-out/shift-in characters (see Double-Byte Character Sets in the Operations documentation). | ||
PM=I |
Field values are displayed in inverse direction; that is, from right to left (for example, for use in Middle East countries). | ||
PM=N |
No hardcopy of the display can be made. | ||
| Default setting | none | The standard character set is used. | |
| Applicable statements |

Note:
More than one value may be specified.
