The ASCIIMAINFRAMEPRINT option specifies whether to use ASCII printer control characters when CHARSET is set to ASCII and the FILETYPE is set to mainframe print format where “WRITE BEFORE ADVANCING SYNTAX” is used.
Syntax:
ASCIIMAINFRAMEPRINT
=
{
ON
}
{
OFF
}
Parameters:
- ON
- Printer Control Characters are in ASCII when CHARSET is set to ASCII.
- OFF
- Printer Control Characters are in EBCDIC where CHARSET is set to ASCII.
Comments:
You use an entry in the File Handler Configuration File (EXTFH.cfg) to enable the printer control characters to be ASCII when the CHARSET is set to ASCII:
The default value is OFF.
This parameter can be set globally only; that is under the tag [XFH-DEFAULT]. You cannot set the parameter for an individual file.
