Converting user data

User data following each BRIV (including the ADSD, but excluding RETRIEVE data) is converted in the AOR using the GCHARS and GCODES values defined for the facility-like terminal that was used as a template to build the bridge facility.

You should define these values appropriately for your client program, and specify the facility-like name in your Link3270 call if you are not using the default. The client code page must be specified in value 2 of CGCSGID in the AOR as well as in the DFHCNV conversion table in the router region.

The code page conversion for user data is based on the code page conversion for EPI emulation.

CGCSGID values 1 and 2 can be retrieved by an application program using EXEC CICS ASSIGN GCHARS and EXEC CICS ASSIGN GCODES respectively.
