Using other predefined code tables

In addition to the standard code table OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_DRV, the following code tables are also supplied with the product BeanConnect:

• OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV (only UTM partners)

• OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1 (only UTM partners)

• OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_15 (only UTM partners)

• code tables of the JVM (UTM and CICS partners)

BeanConnect supports the code tables provided with the JVM. You will find a list of the JVM code tables

• for Java SE Development Kit 8 at

  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html

You select the required code table at deployment time as follows:

• In the configuration property encoding specify the name of the required code table. You specify a JMV code table with jdk:<jvm-code-table>.

• Set the configuration property encodingActive to true to activate it.

You select the required code table at runtime as follows:

• In the Java program activate the required code table with the setEncoding() method of the EISConnection interface or the OltpMessageContext interface.

You can use the Management Console to specify a code table for an inbound service. This specification overwrites the value for encoding and sets encodingActive to true, see Configuring inbound services .

Example 20 Using predefined code tables

Code table OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV is to be used:
connection.setEncoding(Encoding.getEncoding("OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV"))

JVM code table CP1047 is to be used:
connection.setEncoding(Encoding.getEncoding("jdk:Cp1047"));
connection.setEncodingActive(true);

The other predefined code tables are shown on the following pages.

In all the following Byte - Character (Unicode) Correspondence tables

• the x and y axes indicate the relevant 1-byte EBCDIC code

• the first line in a field indicates the 2-byte Unicode (leading non-significant bytes are not indicated)

• the second line in a field indicates the Unicode printing character

In all the following Character (Unicode) - Byte Correspondence tables

• the x and y axes indicate the relevant 2-byte Unicode

• the relevant field indicates the associated 1-byte EBCDIC code
