The default is Off.

Thai Options

Thai Composed Mode

Select a display mode:

ModeDescription
1 - Non-composeNo character composition occurs.
2 - No alignmentThai characters are auto-composed. No column realignment is performed.
3 - Space alignmentThree consecutive spaces cause column realignment. The realignment occurs whenever composing routine finds three consecutive spaces. If all fields have at least three trailing spaces, then all fields of all records will be properly aligned.
4 - EOF alignmentThe EOF character (Hexadecimal 'EA') also causes column realignment. Whenever the composing routine finds a single EOF, it deletes the EOF and performs column realignment. If two consecutive EOFs are found, no realignment occurs, one EOF is deleted, and one EOF is treated as data.
5 - Space and EOF alignmentCombines column realignment function of both mode 3 and mode 4.

DBCS options

User Defined Character Setting

Determine whether the session starts with a user-defined character (UDC) mapping table.

The default is Off. If you want to use a UDC mapping table, set this option to On.

UDC Table Selection

Select the UDC mapping table that will be applied in this session. You can create a new mapping table.

The default is none.

IME Auto Start

Select Yes to automatically start the Input Method Editor (IME) when the cursor is located on DBCS fields. IME is a front-end processor that generates DBCS strings. This function requires Java 2.

For DBCS sessions running on Java 2, the default is On. For all other sessions, the default is Off.

In Korean versions of Host On-Demand, IME is coded to automatically transform all DBCS input into Hanguel (to fulfill a Java requirement). Therefore, you must disable IME Auto Start for sessions requiring DBCS alphanumeric input.

Lock

Check Lock to prevent users from changing the associated startup value for a session. Users can not change values for most fields because the fields are unavailable. However, functions accessed from the session menu bar or tool bar can be changed.
