Re: LPR & French Canadian characters

[Peter . Webb]

Hi Mike,   You use the PPS command instead of  PRINT. Though once you have translation set up to your liking you might be able to go back to using PRINT. You will find the TCPIP translate tables on TCPMAINT 592. You make a new default by copying to TCPMAINT 198 and renaming it appropriately. For FTP only, we use 00370819 TCPXLBIN renamed as SRVRFTP TCPXLBIN instead of the standard translate table. Your TN3270 session does not use the VM TCPIP translate tables, it uses the Attachmate translate tables (By looking in your Attachmate configuration panels, you may get a hint which translate tables on VM you should use).   Peter   -----Original Message----- From: VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Horlick, Michael Sent: December 14, 2005 09:58 To: VMESA-L@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: LPR & French Canadian characters   Peter,   Thanks for the info. Now to try to find out where this default TCPIP translate table is. I see the PPS command has the ‘TCPXLBIN’ and the ‘TRANS’ option but not the PRINT command. Also, since I am connected to zVM through a telnet session and I see the French characters on my PC screen (running Attachmate myEXTRA! Enterprise 7.11) isn’t that default TCP/IP translate table ok ?   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.
