Special character sets

In menu mode, messages can be created with special characters from extended character sets (e.g. 8-bit character sets). The relevant library must be assigned for the screen display before MSGMAKER is started.

/ADD-FILE-LINK LINK-NAME=MAPLIB,FILE-NAME=SYSFHS.MSGMAKER.<version>.<code>

<version> contains the current MSGMAKER version and <code> the name of the required character set.

The terminal must also be working in 8-bit mode. The 8-bit code table of the user entry is activated by means of the /MODIFY-TERMINAL-OPTIONS CODED-CHARACTER-SET=8-BIT-DEFAULT command.
