Character string types

z/OS Communications Server: CMIP Services and Topology Agent Guide
SC27-3646-00

Different types of character strings can be formatted and sent to the API. Four of the string types defined in the ASN.1 standard are supported:
  • NumericString
  • PrintableString
  • VisibleString (also known as ISO646String)
  • GraphicString

The GraphicString type is the same as the ISO646String type. The application program can specify character sets other than those supported by VTAM® CMIP services by using the hexadecimal BER format (see Hexadecimal BER format).
