CHARCODE parameter

Use this parameter to select EBCDIC or ASCII data translation for the following reports:

CSS adapter or CSS line trace
Line trace detail, line trace summary
Frame-relay logical line trace summary
Network data traffic
SNA detail SYSPRINT
VTAM® internal trace

ACF/TAP translates the hex data using the EBCDIC or ASCII translate tables. However, the actual translated data depends on how the trace data was initially built. For example, if data was built in ASCII, and the EBCDIC value is used on the CHARCODE parameter, the translated data is unreadable.

EBCDIC: This is the default if a value is not specified or the parameter is reset. If this value is specified, hex data is translated to an EBCDIC format.
ASCII: If this value is specified, hex data is translated to an ASCII format.
