Setting preferences for PL/I XML converters

Edit online

To set preferences for PL/I XML converters, open the PL/I XML Converters page in the Enterprise Service Tools preferences.

Setting the preferences for PL/I XML converters affect single-service projects, including:
  • Web Services for CICS®
  • JSON Services forCICS project
  • XML Transformation for CICS
  • IMS Enterprise Suite SOAP Gateway
  • Batch, TSO, and z/OS® UNIX System Services

These preferences affect how runtime XML conversion programs generated by single-service project wizards in the Enterprise Service Tools convert data between the XML format used in service requests and responses and the high-level language data structures used by PL/I:

To set generation preferences for runtime XML conversion programs:
  1. In the left pane of the Preferences window, select PL/I XML Converters
  2. Change the preferences:
    1. The preferences on the Basic tab are described in the following table:
      Preference: Effect of this preference:
      Converter program name prefix This input field specifies the entry label for the procedure. If you type ACCT, for example, the wizard identifies the input converter program as ACCTI, the output converter program as ACCTO, and the driver as ACCTD
      Author name This input field is embedded as a PL/I comment.
      Request code page This list box specifies the code page to be used for encoding the request XML message.
      Host code page This list box specifies the code page that is used by the z/OS host system.
      Response code page This list box specifies the code page to be used for encoding the response XML message.
