SPECIFYING INPUT PARAMETERS
4-36 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE
Points to note
Note the following when using the TCODE command:
• The LPS accepts lowercase characters expressed literally or
symbolically, that is, preceded by the pound sign ( # )
functioning as a switch case operator.
•
A hyphen (-) specifies the range of contiguous characters (as in
the examples below), where the contiguity is based upon actual
codes. If input codes are associated with ASCII characters, the
letter A can be represented as hexadecimal 41; the letter B as
42,..., the letter Z as 5A. If input codes are associated with
EBCDIC characters, the contiguity of the input codes is
interrupted between the letters I and J, between the letters R
and S and, thus, must be specified as three separate ranges.
•
Coding of a TCODE command is dependent on:
— Operational requirements, such as using a defined
character set, for example, ASCII or EBCDIC, in which
type 1 and type 2 character sets are defined by default and
using TASSIGN parameters to define additional character
sets, for example, type 3, type 4...
— Capability of the operator's console to process and display
lowercase characters literally rather than symbolically.
The examples in table 4-41 illustrate how the TCODE command may
be coded to specify the following types of character sets.

Type Interpretation
1 Defines numeric characters (0-9) by default.
2 Defines alphabetic characters (A-Z and a-z) by
default.
3 Defines uppercase alphabetic characters (A-Z) by
TCODE command.
4 Defines lowercase alphabetic characters (a-z) by
TCODE command.
None Characters which are neither numeric nor alphabetic.
