Support of Kanji Devices
Figure 1-1 shows the role of SNAX/APN in communication between applications and
devices.
The PRT (printer) protocol, used with SNAX/XF, is not supported by SNAX/APN.
Printer support is available only through the CRT protocol. For more information, see
the SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN Configuration and Management Manual and the Spooler
Utilities Reference Manual.
Support of Kanji Devices
SNAX/APN has the ability to communicate with a CRT application that contains data in
double-byte format. SNAX/APN makes the necessary adjustments in the data stream to
properly interface with IBM and Fujitsu SNA double-byte-capable terminals.
SNAX/APN also provides the proper response to the SETMODE 144 requests for
information regarding the character map currently in use by the application.
CHARMAPFILE now includes the following map types:.
