This parameter provides support for Eclipse codepage translation.
Default: Five default entries are generated internally:
Country US, Language EN, Language Pack EN, CCSID 37
Country GB, Language EN, Language Pack EN, CCSID 285
Country CA, Language FR, Language Pack CA, CCSID 37
Country DE, Language DE, Language Pack DE, CCSID 273
Country JP, Language JA, Language Pack JA, CCSID 939
Requests and responses between the Eclipse Client and the mainframe Server are translated between UTF-8 at the Eclipse Client and EBCDIC at the mainframe Server using the user's codepage at the Eclipse Client. National Language support is also available for messages sent from the mainframe Server to the Eclipse Client through mainframe IBM Session Manager Language Packs and four Language Packs are supplied with IBM Session Manager: English, German, Japanese and Canadian-French. These supplied Language Packs have been translated using the specified CCSIDs.
When signing on to the Eclipse Client, the Country Code and Language Code of the client computer (PC) are sent to IBM Session Manager, which then matches these details against the XLATECP entries. If a match is found then the corresponding Language Pack and CCSID will be used for National Language support and UTF-8 to EBCDIC translations. If a match is not found then they will default to the EN Language Pack and CCSID of 285.
If the client computer has a different combination of Country Code and Language Code from the supplied default list of entries, and the default is not suitable, then additional entries can be added using the XLATECP parameter.
Also, if additional Language Packs are created then the IBM Session Manager Eclipse-based interface may be customized to support these using the XLATECP parameter.
texstring has a maximum allowed length of 27 characters, and has this format:
CL/countrycode-languagecode/LP/languagepacksuffix/CCSID/codepageccsid/
Specifies a two-character Country Code, followed by a hyphen, then a two-character Language Code. These should match the Locale and Language settings at the PC.
Specifies a two-character suffix of the Language Pack used at the mainframe Server to generate messages for the Eclipse user.
Specifies the CCSID used for translation of messages between the Eclipse Client and the mainframe Server.
CL/US-EN/LP/EN/CCSID/37/
CL/GB-EN/LP/EN/CCSID/285/
CL/CA-FR/LP/CA/CCSID/37/
CL/DE-DE/LP/DE/CCSID/273/
CL/JP-JA/LP/JA/CCSID/939/
When updated, any change comes into effect when the system is recycled.
