Default

Codetype: EBCDIC

CODE DEFAULT

parameter: points

to note

The DEFAULT parameter must be coded before any
ASSIGN parameter for the assignment exceptions to become
active. A DEFAULT parameter following any defined ASSIGN
parameters causes those ASSIGN parameters to be ignored.

Multiple user defined character code translation tables are
allowed, but only one may be without a command identifier.
– The corresponding CODE and LCODE parameters of the

VOLUME command are used to reference each user-
created code table by a command identifier.

– The USER option of the CODE and LCODE parameters

of the VOLUME command references a user defined code
translation table in which no command identifier is coded.

CODE DEFAULT

parameter

examples

Following are two examples illustrating the use of the CODE
DEFAULT parameter.

Example 1

Assume that your input data is recorded in EBCDIC. On output,
however, codes 5A, 5B, and 5C (characters !, $, *, respectively),
are assigned to the character blank (X'40'). The command to
modify the EBCDIC base table is as follows:

value

A one byte hexadecimal, octal, or alpha constant. If a value is specified, all
inputs are coded to that value.

ASSIGN=(X'5B', X'40'),
ASSIGN=(X'5C',X'40');
