Using SNAX/HLS Trace Analysis Program
2–8 104706 Tandem Computers Incorporated
CODESET Command This command is only relevant if the interchange code set (data written to and
received from SNAX/XF or SNAX/CDF) is ASCII or EBCDIC, and not an extended
form of EBCDIC that would require a mapping other than the standard
ASCII-to-EBCDIC mapping to convert to Tandem internal format.
The CODESET command directs HLSTAP to format text in user messages using either
ASCII or EBCDIC character tables when translation is not in effect.
If code set conversion was enabled during the session when the data was recorded, the
trace program can deduce the correct conversions because only one translation is
meaningful on a session. If SNAX/HLS conversion is not selected for the session, the
trace program cannot distinguish between EBCDIC text and ASCII text, where the
latter might be converted by SNAX/XF or SNAX/CDF. The CODESET option allows
resolution of this issue.
CODESET { ASCII }
{ EBCDIC }
Considerations
This command affects only text recorded when translation is not selected. If
SNAX/HLS translation is in effect, text displayed in verb requests and replies is in
ASCII and text displayed in SNALU I/O is in EBCDIC.
The initial default value is ASCII.
Examples
This command causes text to be displayed, for a session with no SNAX/HLS
translation of data, in ASCII at both the verb and SNALU I/O levels:
