Re: LPR & French Canadian characters

[Horlick, Michael]

Hi Peter,   I found the file ‘CANADIAN TCPXLATE’ on TCPMAINT 592 disk . I copied to my A-disk and ran the CONVXLAT command against it creating a CANADIAN TCPXLBIN file. I used that on the PPS command and it seems to be Ok. Will confirm with client. If Ok, will need to figure how to make it the default.     Ultimately, the source for most printing will be from VSE (mostly from CICS/TS) through VSE/POWER to RSCS (instead of using TCP/IP for VSE) so hopefully there won’t be more translation tables along this path.   Regards,   Mike   From: VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: December 14, 2005 9:28 AM To: VMESA-L@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: LPR & French Canadian characters   You need to change the translation tables used to translate from EBCDIC to ASCII. A quick look at the RSCS Program Directory does not reveal how to change the default, but you can use the PPS command with the TCPXLBIN option to experiment with translation tables. You might want to consider changing the default TCPIP translate table to the table you find works best. The RSCS exit may be using the default TCPIP translate table.   -----Original Message----- From: VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Horlick, Michael Sent: December 14, 2005 09:05 To: VMESA-L@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: LPR & French Canadian characters   Greetings,   Just getting involved in using RSCS TCP/IP LPR functionality. My client is trying to print a file (using the CMS PRINT command) that contains French Canadian characters.   The printer is defined to RSCS as   LINKDEFINE IPPLAS TYPE LPR FORM * AST                           PARM IPPLAS  EXIT=LPRXONE ITO=0 TCP=TCPIP USER=Y PRINTER=RAW  #   SECURE=NO HOST=172.16.92.97 SYS=Y                           #   EP='S=N FF=N C=LPR CONV=Y SUFFIX=1B45'   I have the following in RSCS PROFILE GCS file :   'FILEDEF CONFIG DISK RSCS CONFIG *'           'FILEDEF LPR DISK LPR CONFIG *'              'FILEDEF LPRP DISK LPRP CONFIG *'            'FILEDEF LPRXFORM DISK LPRXFORM CONFIG *'    'FILEDEF LPD DISK RSCSLPD CONFIG *'            The LPR CONFIG file is the sample one (LPREXITS Sample Configuration File).   If I transfer the file to my PC and print it out from there it prints OK so I know the printer can handle the characters.   I would appreciate some guidance.   Thanks   Mike Horlick CGI Montreal                        The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
