If you specify NOTRANSPARENT and NOTRANSLATE, the data is
transmitted as transparent text and the data is not translated before it is
transmitted. NOTRANSLATE always takes precedence over
NOTRANSPARENT or TRANSPARENT.
1 TRANSPARENT
If you specify TRANSPARENT and TRANSLATE, the data is transmitted as
transparent text and the data is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC before it is
transmitted regardless of whether the data communications line is an EBCDIC
or ASCII line.
If you specify TRANSPARENT and NOTRANSLATE, the data is transmitted
as transparent text and the data is not translated before it is transmitted.
If you specify TRANSPARENT and the line server is emulating a 2780 or 3780
terminal, or block mode with 2780/3780 blocking, your program must send
fixed-length records of 80 bytes each. That is, the write count parameter in the
calls to WRITE or WRITEREAD must be 80. If the write count parameter is not
80, error 21 (bad count) is returned. If the line server is operating in block
mode without blocking, this restriction to 80-byte records does not apply.
param1
.<13>
controls the truncation of trailing blanks, as follows. (This parameter does not
apply to block mode without blocking.)
This parameter can have the following values:
0 NOTRUNCATE
If you specify NOTRUNCATE, trailing blanks are not removed and each
record is transmitted with trailing blanks included.
1 TRUNCATE
If you specify TRUNCATE, trailing blanks are removed from each record
before the record is transmitted.
TRUNCATE is not allowed with either TRANSPARENT or NOTRANSLATE.
TRUNCATE is also not allowed when the line server is operating in block
mode.
param1
.<14>
controls compression of multiple blanks for 3780-emulation mode and block mode
without blocking. This parameter does not apply to 2780-emulation mode, block
mode with 2780 blocking, or block mode without blocking.
This field can have the following values:
0 NOCOMPRESS
If you specify NOCOMPRESS, no compression of blanks takes place and the
records are transmitted with consecutive blanks in place.
