You can use the LANG parameter with four FCOPY functions to
copy files in a particular native language.
The four functions are CHAR, EBCDICIN, EBCDICOUT, and
UPSHIFT. You can use LANG to describe a
language name or number in the form:
where language represents a language name or number. The
language you specify must be installed on your
system.
If you omit the LANG parameter, FCOPY uses the current language. If there is no current language, FCOPY uses the default, NATIVE-3000. Refer to the Native Language Support Reference Manual (32414-90001) for MPE V/E or (32650-90022) for MPE XL for more information on using native languages.
Use with CHAR |
 |
When you specify a language with the CHAR function, FCOPY uses the character definition table associated with the language to display these characters. It replaces undefined graphic characters and control codes with periods. For example, the command below instructs FCOPY to display the contents of a file in German characters:
>FROM=DEUTSCH;TO=;LANG=GERMAN;CHAR;NORECNUM
|
Use with EBCDICIN/OUT |
|
EBCDICIN converts a file from EBCDIC to ASCII and
EBCDICOUT converts a file from ASCII to EBCDIC. When you use LANG with either of these functions, FCOPY uses the translation table associated with the given language to convert the file. For example, using an EBCDIC-to-ASCII conversion table, FCOPY converts data from German EBCDIC to ROMAN8:
>FROM=MYGEBCFL;TO=MYROM8FL;LANG=GERMAN;EBCDICIN
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 29
30 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS
|
Use with UPSHIFT |
|
UPSHIFT converts lowercase characters to uppercase as you
copy them to another file. When you specify a
language together with UPSHIFT, FCOPY converts characters
according to the rules of the given language.
For example, the command below copies the file DEUTSCH to a
printer, converting lowercase German
characters to uppercase German characters:
>FROM=DEUTSCH;TO=*LP;LANG=GERMAN;UPSHIFT
