16 NLIOUTIL
The NLIOUTIL utility dynamically activates the Native Language I/O (NLIO) subsystem for Asian and Middle
East/African terminals and printers. (NLIO is the basic input and output system integrated into MPE/iX for
Native Language Support NLS.) Once activated by NLIOUTIL, properly configured native devices may use the
Native Language I/O facility.
NOTE You use the System Generator utility (SYSGEN) to configure devices connected directly to the
system and the Node Management Configuration Services (NMMGR) to configure devices
connected to a Distributed Terminal Controller via Local Area Network.
Operation
NLIOUTIL allows the user to start or stop the NLIO service for the current interactive $STDIN and $STDLIST
devices. System Supervisor (OP capability) is required to start or stop the NLIO service for a logical device
(ldev) or device class name other than the $STDIN.
When NLIO is started for a device with the NLIOUTIL OPEN command, status information is written to a file
named NLIODEF.PUB.SYS. When the system is restarted, NLIO reads in all the previous settings from
NLIODEF.PUB.SYS file. There is no need to run NLIOUTIL to open a device unless you wish to change the
settings for the device.
The actual update of NLIODEF.PUB.SYS is performed when the NLIOUTIL program is terminated with the
END/EXIT/E command.
To invoke NLIOUTIL enter:
NLIOUTIL
or
RUN NLIOUTIL.PUB.SYS;INFO=infostring
infostring is an NLIOUTIL command passed with the INFO parameter of the RUN command. NLIOUTIL
automatically exits after executing the command passed with the INFO parameter.
