Data translation z/OS Communications Server: IP IMS Sockets Guide SC27-3653-00 |
|
The IMS™ Listener tests the
initial input data string (the TRM) to determine whether the terminal
is transmitting in ASCII. If the terminal is transmitting in ASCII,
and the transaction is defined as implicit-mode in the
TRANSACTION configuration statement, the Listener translates the ASCII
application data into EBCDIC.
Note: When data translation takes place,
the entire application data portion of the segment is translated from
ASCII to EBCDIC, and vice versa; therefore, the segment should contain
only printable characters that are common to both character sets.
(For example, the EBCDIC cent sign and the ASCII left square bracket
are both printable in their respective native environments, but they
are not translated because they do not have an equivalent in the other
character set.)
