Keyword entries for files that use DBCS (positions 45 through 80)
When you work with double-byte character set (DBCS) data, you can specify DBCS-specific attributes with certain DDS keywords.
Use the following keywords to perform these functions:
- Specify alternative ways to enter data through display files
- Change input- and output-capable alphanumeric data fields to DBCS data fields
- Specify the special features of the DBCS printer
- CHRSIZ (Character Size)
- Specify this keyword for printer files to be printed on the 5553 printers. CHRSIZ can expand printed characters to twice their normal size (width and height).
- DFNLIN (Define Line)
- Specify this keyword for printer files. DFNLIN draws horizontal or vertical lines.
- IGCALTTYP (DBCS Alternative Data Type)
- Specify this keyword for display and printer files. IGCALTTYP changes the data type of character input- and output-capable fields from A to O (open) if IGCDTA(*YES) is specified on the command used to create the file.
- IGCANKCNV (Alphanumeric-to-DBCS Conversion)
- Specify this keyword for printer files (for Japanese only). IGCANKCNV converts alphanumeric characters to equivalent DBCS characters so printed alphanumeric characters have the same appearance as printed DBCS characters.
- IGCCDEFNT (DBCS Coded Font)
- Specify this keyword for printer files. IGCCDEFNT allows you to specify the DBCS coded font for printing a named or constant field.
- IGCCNV (DBCS Conversion)
- Specify this keyword for display files (for Japanese use only). IGCCNV allows you to use DBCS conversion, which is an alternative to directly typing in DBCS characters from a keyboard.
- IGCCHRRTT (DBCS Character Rotation)
- Specify this keyword for printer files to be printed on the 5553 printers. IGCCHRRTT rotates each DBCS character 90 degrees counterclockwise before printing. By rotating characters, the printouts can be read vertically.
