ESS LU Attributes That Override SCF LU Attributes
Using LUNS
2–26 097841 Tandem Computers Incorporated
If the BINDTABLE attribute is specified in an ADD or ALTER LINE command
(primary line only) or an ADD or ALTER PU command to which this LU is
permanently subordinated, the LU uses the BINDTABLE value of the superior object
as a default unless it is overridden by a BINDTABLE value specified in an ADD or
ALTER LU command for the LU.
The BINDTABLE name can contain from one through eight alphanumeric or special
characters ($, #, or @). Note that BINDTABLE names can be specified in uppercase or
lowercase letters; SNAX/XF converts all lowercase letters to uppercase.
CHARACTERSET Attribute The syntax for the CHARACTERSET attribute is as follows:
CHARACTERSET { ASCII | EBCDIC | KATAKANA }
This attribute specifies whether SNAX/XF is to perform character translation for the
specified LU. The following are valid values for this attribute when specified on an
ADD LU command:
ASCII specifies that no translation is to take place. This implies that
characters are in ASCII format.
EBCDIC specifies that translation from ASCII to EBCDIC is to take place.
That is, EBCDIC turns translation on so that all data sent from the
terminal to a Tandem application will be translated from EBCDIC to
ASCII and all data sent from a Tandem application to the terminal is
translated from ASCII to EBCDIC.
KATAKANA specifies that translation from EBCDIC Katakana to Tandem
Katakana is to take place. Note that the value KATAKANA can be
specified for the LU only. It cannot be specified in an ADD or
ALTER command issued to the PU or LINE object.
For LUs permanently subordinated to a line, the CHARACTERSET attribute specified
for the line (ASCII or EBCDIC) is used as a default value for the LUs if no
CHARACTERSET attribute was specified on an ADD or ALTER LU command. For
switched floating LUs, the CHARACTERSET attribute must be specified in an ADD or
ALTER LU command for the switched floating LU.
