This Natural profile parameter allows you to overwrite the definitions in
the ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation table NTTABA2 as
contained in the configuration module
NATCONFG. TABA2
corresponds to the NTTABA2
macro in the Natural parameter module.
| Possible settings | See TABA2 Parameter Syntax. | |
|---|---|---|
| Default setting | As specified within the macro
NTTABA2 in
NATCONFG.
|
|
| Dynamic specification | yes | This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the
Natural
parameter module, the macro NTTABA2 is used
instead.
|
| Specification within session | no | |
The following topics are covered below:
The TABA2 parameter is specified as follows:
| TABA2=(a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...) |
You specify pairs of characters, the first character of a pair being an ASCII character to be translated, the second character of a pair being the EBCDIC character into which the ASCII 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:
| TABA2=OFF |
With TABA2=OFF all (static and dynamic) definitions are
reset to the values specified within the macro NTTABA2
in NATCONFG.
The NTTABA2 macro is specified as follows:
NTTABA2 a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,...
Notes:
OFF cannot be specified with the macro
NTTABA2, but only dynamically with the profile parameter
TABA2.
With the TABA2 parameter, you must enclose the
entire string of character pairs in parentheses, for example:
TABA2=(5E,'Ä','ö',78,FF,00,'ü','Ü')
NTTABA2 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'.
