- Logical
- Select this option to set the display text type to Logical. For Hebrew sessions, by default, the display text type is Visual.
- Right-to-Left
- Select this option to set the text direction as right-to-left.
- Symmetric Swapping
- (Arabic 3270 sessions only) Select this option to replace swapping characters with their directional opposite. For example, in a right-to-left string, the (and) is reversed.
- Numeric Swapping
- (Arabic 3270 sessions only) Select this option to specify that English numerals are replaced by Arabic numerals, and Arabic numerals are replaced by the English equivalents.
