Globalization on z/OS systems z/OS UNIX System Services Planning GA32-0884-00 |
|
Setting up your system or user environment for globalization on z/OS® systems is a little different from what most users are accustomed to when setting up globalization on ASCII platforms. An extra step is typically needed when changing your locale, which involves setting the ASCII/EBCDIC coded character set conversion for the controlling terminal. The conversion is required because most PC terminal emulators require ASCII data, but the z/OS shells use EBCDIC data. For example, when using a PC emulator to interactively log into
an ASCII UNIX operating system,
a user will:
When interactively logging into an EBCDIC z/OS UNIX operating
system, the user will:
On z/OS systems, in daemons such as rlogind, telnetd, and sshd, conversion between ASCII and EBCDIC occurs in the forked daemon process which handles the user's connection. This process allocates the terminal (tty) for the end user. On ASCII platforms, no conversion is necessary. |
