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 21 at
  https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/intl/supported-encodings.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 13 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
