Initialization Parameters › Initialization Parameter Descriptions › CODEPAGE

CODEPAGE

This parameter specifies which translation table (or codepage) to use when sending character strings to IBM-3270 type display terminals. The table is used to map nondisplay characters, or valid display characters needed for a particular language or special character.

Note:

• The table does not determine the actual character displayed by the terminal that is a function of either the hardware or the terminal emulator codepage.
• The table only determines if the value of the hexadecimal character is passed to the display terminal or translated to a period (Hexadecimal character 4B).

  Syntax:

  CODEPAGE=xxx
  

  The default is 037.

• The tables are named EBCCPxxx with the xxx characters being unique for different tables. The translation tables supplied on the CA View distribution tape are shown after the default value for this parameter.
• The codepage charts are used to determine if the character value is passed to the display terminal or translated to a period. In this table, the lower case 'c' is used to show that the character value is passed, and the period is used to show that the character value is translated.
• The title of each chart contains the codepage number (last three characters of the table name) and the common name associated with the terminal language.

  For example, the first table describes the default codepage table, CODEPAGE=037 which is commonly used and the English language display terminal.
