Multinational Character Sets

Character Set Selection Command (ISET)

Purpose

Accesses one of the 32 multinational character sets from Table 7–3. Use

this command to access a different character set from the configured

power–up default character set.

Mode

NORMAL, CREATE, and EXECUTE

Format

In Normal and Execute modes

:

(cc)ISET; n

In the Create mode (SFCC not required): ISET; n

(cc)

Represents the Special Function Control Character.

ISET

The Multinational Character Set command; enter

ISET.

n

The character substitution set number; enter a value

ranging from 0 to 31. Character sets 0 through 23

represent resident character sets. Values from 24

through 31 correspond to the customized USET

character sets 1 through 8, respectively.

For example, refer to Table 7–3 on page 7–9. If you

want to use the User Set 1 created in the example on

page 7–9, call ISET;24. Similarly, if you want User

Set 5 that you had previously defined, call ISET;28 to

select and print the User Set 5 substitution set.

Comments

You can issue the ISET command as many times within a form as needed.

The character set selected will remain active until a new character set is

selected. If you choose an incorrect character set value or make a syntax

error, an error message will result. If a value for n is not specified, an error

message will print.

Using the ISET command in the Execute mode declares the character set

for use in conjunction with the dynamic data within that Execute command.

Fixed form data specified in the Create mode is not affected by an ISET

command in the Execute mode. The character set selected will remain in

effect until another character set is selected.
