So I will explain it as much as I know and can. We have "special" band in other words not the default US band. We have band with Latin2 charaters, but only band with uppercase characters, yes our printer has only one band.
And our problem is that we use 870 code table on Host and we need to switch on UNICODE, but we do not know how than we will print our Latin2 characters on that printer. We also have 6262 printer, and that printer have code table for mounted band "inside" it self so we can "move" characters in table, and it works just fine (for now). But we do not know what and how to do with this printer. Our maintence person have books for that printer, but only books with schematics of parts, nothing about printer's "software". And off-course we do not have JES2 we have JES3, but in near future we should move on JES2. IBM in my country uses my company as a test field, if something is successfull then they implement that in other companies if not - who cares :). Thanks.
