EPI SUBUNPT—Set Substitute Character for Unprintable Characters

The SUBUNPT command affects how the RDSCREEN and RDSCRROW commands return unprintable characters.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS EPI "SUBUNPT keywords"
  {sub_char}
  {ON|OFF}

sub_char

Defines the character to be substituted for all unprintable characters of output from the RDSCREEN and RDSCRROW commands. This value can be a single character or a numeric value between 0 and 255 that corresponds to the EBCDIC value of the desired character.

ON

Tells EPI to translate unprintable characters. This value reverses the effects of a previously issued SUBUNPT OFF command.

OFF

(Default) Tells EPI not to translate unprintable characters.

Example: EPI SUBUNPT

The following sets the substitute character for unprintable characters to a slash and turns translation for these characters on:

SUBUNPT / ON
