Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm uses the U.S.A. EBCDIC code set for specification and display of
EBCDIC characters and for the extended ACS masking character that
are used for filtering.
About this task
If the code tables that are used by your installation are
different, you need to enter the EBCDIC character peculiar to your
code tables that results in the binary value for the EBCDIC character
specified in the product documentation.
Procedure
- Data that is supplied as input to batch programs
For product code that is shipped in binary, when you are specifying
input where the product takes special action based on specific characters,
you must enter the EBCDIC character peculiar to your code tables that
results in the binary value for the EBCDIC character that is specified
in this guide, according to the U.S.A. EBCDIC code set.
For
example, if an exclamation mark (!) is called for,
and your code tables do not translate the ! character
to a hexadecimal 5A, you must enter the character that your code table
translates to 5A.
- Product output
Depictions of product output
that are shown in the product documentation are based on the U.S.A.
EBCDIC code set. Actual output might be different if you EBCDIC code
tables are not U.S.A. EBCDIC.
- Extended ACS masking characters
Your installation
might need to specify different masking characters to achieve the
correct result if your code tables are different from the U.S.A. EBCDIC
code set.
