-Square Bracket Characters</h1>

-<h2>
|
|
-The Problem</h2>
|
|
-Most IBM 3270 emulators have some degree of difficulty with the square-bracket
|
|
-characters, <b>[</b> and <b>]</b>. The problem is that there is not a consistent
|
|
-definition of what EBCDIC codes represent them. Hosts may define the square
|
|
-bracket characters as X'BA' and X'BB' (as defined in the IBM <i>Chararcter
|
|
-Set Reference</i> as standard EBCDIC characters), or as X'AD' and X'BD'
|
|
-(which is what the IBM C compilers recognize). In addition, some (but not
|
|
-all) hosts display these characters with a Graphics Escape (GE) sequence.
|
|
-When the host and/or x3270 are misconfigured, the square-bracket characters
|
|
-may be displayed as <img SRC="del.jpg" height=23 width=24> and <img SRC="delta.jpg" height=21 width=20>,
|
|
-or <b>Ý</b> and <b>¨</b>.
|
|
-<h2>
|
|
-Host Configuration</h2>
|
|
-If you are using ISPF, you may simply need to use the correct terminal
|
|
-translation table. According to the IBM's <i>ISPF Planning and Customizing
|
|
-(SC28-1298)</i>, Section 3.11, the correct translation table for displaying
|
|
-square bracket characters is called <b>3278A</b>.
|
|
-<p>In VM/CMS, the commands <b>terminal apl on</b> and <b>set apl on</b>
|
|
-cause the X'AD', X'BD', X'BA' and X'BB' characters to be displayed with
|
|
-a Graphics Escape (GE) prefix. With <b>terminal apl off</b> and <b>set
|
|
-apl off</b> in effect, they are displayed without the GE prefix.
|
|
-<h2>
|
|
-x3270 Facilities</h2>
|
|
-x3270 has two facilities to deal with this situation: character sets and
|
|
-keymaps. By selecting the correct character set and keymap, you can set
|
|
-up x3270 to generate and display the proper codes for the square-bracket
|
|
-characters.
|
|
-<blockquote><b>-charset bracket</b> is the default mode, and is used with
|
|
-hosts that use X'AD' and X'BD' for the square-bracket characters. It can
|
|
-be used if the host displays these characters with or without a GE sequence.</blockquote>
|
|
-
|
|
-<blockquote><b>-charset us</b> is for use with hosts that use X'BA' and
|
|
-X'BB' for the square-bracket characters, and <i>do not</i> display these
|
|
-characters with a GE sequence.</blockquote>
|
|
-
|
|
-<blockquote><b>-apl</b> (an abbreviation for <b>-charset apl</b>, <b>-keymap
|
|
-apl</b>) is for use with hosts running APL, which use GE X'AD' and GE X'BD'
|
|
-to represent and display the APL2 square-bracket characters.</blockquote>
|
|
-Here is a table which summarizes the combinations of characters generated
|
|
-and displayed in the various modes.
