SCON-20L/22L/25L/28L Configuration Manual
The Primary and Secondary languages can be configured to be the same language,
enabling you to define twice the number of keys on the Keyboard Definition Utility
(KDU) or ASCII Definition Utility (ADU) layouts. (The layouts can be modified as the
Primary language, and also modified as the Secondary language.)
See the following topics for more information on:
• ASCII considerations
• Software Requirements
• Languages Table
• Using Secondary Languages Translate Tables
Translate Tables
For the Primary and Secondary languages you specified, use this field to enter the name
of the 3270 translate tables to be created via the Translate Tables Utility (TTU). The
options are:
• Default - Standard translate table for the configured language will be used.
• User-Defined 1
• User-Defined 2
If your choice for Secondary Language was Disabled, the Translate Table option for
Secondary Language must be Default.
Note: Use of the Translate Table Utility to create user-defined tables may have an
effect on the functioning of the ASCII Definition Utility and on ASCII character
translation. If you plan to create User-Defined Translate Tables, and your
network includes ASCII, refer to Effects on ASCII for additional information.
Numeric Delimiter
In this field, toggle to select the numeric delimiter that can be used in Numeric Lock
field. The choices are: Period or Comma.
Country Extended Code Page (CECP)
Toggle to Enable or Disable Country Extended Code Page (CECP) support. A code
page contains the graphic characters that support a language. The characters are assigned
to code point positions on a country code page. Different languages use different
characters, different numbers of characters, and different arrangements of code points
on their country code page. Most country code pages contain unallocated code points.
A Country Extended Code Page uses these unallocated code points to provide additional
characters. The unallocated code points are assigned characters from the CECP universal
character set (Character Set 697), which contains 190 characters and a space.
Once CECP is enabled, you can use the Keyboard Definition Utility (KDU) to assign to
your keyboards any character from this universal character set.
