Display Code Page and Character Set

IBM BookManager READ/MVS V1R3 Installation, Planning and Customization
SC38-2035-00
QDCODEPG and QDCHRSET specify the code page and character set used by your display terminals. These values are only used if BookManager READ cannot determine this information from the terminal, or the values returned by the terminal are unknown. The EOXVOPTS member shipped with BookManager READ specifies: 



     QDCODEPG = "0037"
     QDCHRSET = "0101"
Following is a list of code page and character set combinations supported by BookManager READ.

BookManager READ issues a Read Partition Query to determine the character set and code page of the terminal. It uses the first set of returned values. If no character sets are returned, or the values returned by the terminal are unknown, BookManager READ uses the values specified by QDCODEPG and QDCHRSET.
To determine the code page and character set of a terminal:
  1. Start ISPF, and go to option 0.7 (ISPF ENVIRON COMMAND SETTINGS).
  2. Set the value for Invoke TERMSTAT to YES, and press ENTER.
  3. Look for the output line CHARACTER SETS. For example, you might see: 
    

    
         CHARACTER SETS
         001B8185 82000C14 00000000 07000000 00650025 0100F103 C30136
    The fifth word (X'00650025' in this example) contains the 2-byte character set and 2-byte code page of the terminal. In this example, the terminal is using character set 0101 (X'0065') and code page 0037 (X'0025'). If this data is not returned, then the terminal does not provide this information.
BookManager READ supports the code pages and character sets listed in the preceding table. In addition, it supports the following country extended code pages:
