This Natural profile parameter can be used to overwrite the definitions
in the EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table NTTABA1 as
contained in the configuration module
NATCONFG. TABA1
corresponds to the NTTABA1 macro in the
Natural
parameter module.
| Possible settings | See TABA1 Parameter Syntax. | |
|---|---|---|
| Default setting | As specified within the macro
NTTABA1 in
NATCONFG.
|
|
| Dynamic specification | yes |
This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the
Natural
parameter module, the macro |
| Specification within session | no | |
The following topics are covered below:
The TABA1 parameter is specified as follows:
| TABA1=(a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...) |
You specify pairs of characters, the first character of a pair being an EBCDIC character to be translated, the second character of a pair being the ASCII character into which the EBCDIC character is to be translated.
You can specify each character either as the one-byte character itself (enclosed in apostrophes) or as the two-byte hexadecimal representation of that character.
Or:
| TABA1=OFF |
With TABA1=OFF all (static and dynamic) definitions are
reset to the values specified in the macro NTTABA1 in
NATCONFG.
The NTTABA1 macro is specified as follows:
NTTABA1 a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...
Notes:
OFF cannot be specified with the macro
NTTABA1, but only dynamically with the profile parameter
TABA1.
With the TABA1 parameter, you must enclose the
entire string of character pairs in parentheses, for example:
TABA1=(5E,'Ä','ö',78,FF,00,'ü','Ü')
NTTABA1 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'.
