Printing German Special Characters

[michael_Short]

I working a project to print the seven German characters, äöüßÄÖÜ, using RSCS. I took an LPR config file and renamed it LPRG and also set up a FILDEF for the config file. The LPRG name is also used for the C subparm of the EPARMS parameter.

 

In the TOASCII section I changed the following character location based on the following table:

 

Char Location Value

 

ä          43         E4

ö         CC        F6

ü         DC        FC

ß          59        DF

Ä         63        C4

Ö        EC        D6

Ü        FC        DC

 

giving the table below:

I know that that characters are arriving at RSCS without

translation, but when the file is printed the characters print

as blanks except fo the Ä which prints as a ~.

Is there something I'm missing to get this to work?
