Specifying input parameters Example 5 Job 4 overrides the system level SEFFNT mapping with a job level definition. JOB4: JOB; SEFFNT SEFMAP=(L01BOB,P0812A); TCODE command The TCODE command defines a set of input-character-to-type assignments that will be used for the masked string comparisons in a report. You must use TCODE whenever you need to modify one of the standard sets of default type assignments. General rules for using the TCODE command The TCODE command should be coded as follows: • Use a command identifier of the type ac for the TCODE command within a JSL. The ac identifier consists of 1 to 6 alphanumeric characters (A through Z and 0 through 9). One of these characters must be alphabetic. • Use the DEFAULT parameter to specify the initial type assignments for the entire set of input character codes. • Use one or more occurrences of the TASSIGN parameter to modify the specified initial set of type assignments by associating specific character types with specific characters in the input character set. • If necessary, use one or more occurrences of the TRESET parameter to further modify the initial set by disassociating specific character types from specific characters in the input character set. • Use a hyphen (-) to specify a range of contiguous characters where the contiguity is based on actual codes. • Specify input codes in their untranslated form. For example, for input data encoded generally in ASCII, use the ASCII string constant type or the hexadecimal equivalent. (For example, for A, use the ASCII A'a' or the hex equivalent X'61'. Do not use 'a' in this case.) • For input codes associated with EBCDIC characters, be aware that the contiguity of the input codes is interrupted between the letters I and J, and between the letters R and S. This break requires you to specify three separate ranges. • Use the TASSIGN parameters to define additional character sets. Using LCDS Print Description Language 2-49
