TRANSL[ATE] | NOTRANSL[ATE]
controls the translation of data from ASCII to EBCDIC.
If you specify NOTRANSLATE, the data is not translated from ASCII to
EBCDIC before it is transmitted and the data is transmitted as transparent text.
Use NOTRANSLATE when you want to transmit non-ASCII-coded data, such
as object code. NOTRANSLATE requires fixed-length, 80-byte records.
If you specify TRANSLATE and TRANSPARENT, the data is translated from
ASCII to EBCDIC before it is transmitted. This translation occurs regardless of
whether the data communications line was defined as an EBCDIC line or an
ASCII line during system generation.
If you specify TRANSLATE and NOTRANSPARENT, whether the data is
translated or not depends on how the data communications line was defined
during system generation. If the data communications line was defined as an
EBCDIC line, the data is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC before it is
transmitted. If the data communications line was defined as an ASCII line, the
data is not translated before it is transmitted. In both cases, the data is
transmitted as normal text.
If you omit this parameter, the default value is TRANSLATE.
Note that while Exchange/RJE allows the use of transparent text with ASCII
data communications lines, IBM 2780 and 3780 terminals do not support the
use of transparent text with ASCII data communications lines.
TRANSP[ARENT] | NOTRANSP[ARENT]
controls the transmission of data as transparent text. This parameter applies
to both ASCII and EBCDIC data communications lines. However, while
Exchange/RJE allows the use of transparent text with ASCII data
communications lines, IBM 2780 and 3780 terminals do not support the use of
transparent text with ASCII data communications lines.
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
line or an 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 NOTRANSPARENT and TRANSLATE, the data is transmitted
as normal text. Whether the data is translated or not depends on how the data
communications line was defined during system generation. If the data
communications line was defined as an EBCDIC line, the data is translated
from ASCII to EBCDIC before it is transmitted. If the data communications
line was defined as an ASCII line, the data is not translated before it is
transmitted.
