CHAR-SET- assign names to code tables (BS2000 systems)

This statement is only needed when the application communicates with HTTP-Clients.

Messages from HTTP-Clients are normally encoded in an ASCII character set. On the other hand BS2000 systems use EBCDIC character sets. The character set of the payload (message body) of an HTTP message can be specified in the Content-Type header of the HTTP protocol. UTM can perform a code conversion of the payload, if the character set name given in the Content-Type header of the HTTP message matches exactly one of the names generated with the CHAR-SET statement. Note that the names are interpreted case-insensitive.

Each of the four code conversion tables of UTM may be assigned up to four character-set names.

CHAR-SET

{ SYS1 | SYS2 | SYS3 | SYS4 } , NAME= (C'char-set-name', ...)

SYS1 | SYS2 | SYS3 | SYS4
	With this parameter one of the four code conversion tables of UTM is selected. For further information about code conversion in UTM applications see chapter "Code conversion".
NAME= ( C'char-set-name', ... )
	With the parameter NAME up to four character set names may be defined, which will be assigned to the code conversion table specified in this statement. The spelling of the names is case-insensitive. The maximum length of the name is 32 characters. The defined character set names must be unique within the application. At most four character set names may be assigned to one code conversion table. This may be done by one or more CHAR-SET statements.
