ansi_input_mode

Specifies whether the run-time system uses ANSI or OEM character sets when inputting keystrokes from a console or Application Output window.
Restriction: These tunables are supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-----set ansi_input_mode=----.-TRUE-.---------><
                               +-FALSE+

Parameters:

TRUE Use the ANSI character set to input keystrokes
FALSE Use the OEM character set to input keystrokes

Properties:

Default: FALSE
IDE equivalent: Use the Application.config file of the project - right-click the file in Solution Explorer and click Open, then select the Run-time Configuration tab.

Comments:

Using ANSI enables characters such as the Euro symbol, which does not exist in the OEM character set, to be input and displayed.
