Specifying input parameters The following sections describe the syntax of the CODE command parameters and explain the parameter options. CODE ASSIGN Defines user character code assignments. Syntax ac: CODE ASSIGN = {(input, output) | (input, (output1 [, output2] [,...]))} Options Table 2-16. CODE ASSIGN parameter options and definitions Option Definition input Defines the input code. output Defines the output code, such as hexadecimal or decimal, that corresponds to the input code CODE ASSIGN parameter: point to note The output option is inherently ASCII, because LCDS character sets in most fonts are generally ASCII ordered. Therefore, hexadecimal characters in an EBCDIC string constant (such as E'!3F') are converted to ASCII before being put into the code assignment table. Hexadecimal output option strings (such as X'20'), as well as text string constants (for example, a), are not translated before being put into the code assignment table. Therefore, you should keep ASCII or, more precisely, the encoding of the fonts that will be used, in mind when you use hexadecimal strings. Default No default CODE DEFAULT Specifies a base code from which you can make character code assignment exceptions. The base code is specified by a codetype; the exceptions are specified in the ASSIGN parameter. Syntax ac: CODE DEFAULT = {codetype | value} 2-20 Using LCDS Print Description Language
