HELP Command

The HELP command shows the usage of each of the NLIOUTIL commands.

OPEN Command

The OPEN command is used to start the NLIO service for a specified device with a specified language.

OPEN [nliodevice] [,lang_id] [;RECCONV | ;NORECCONV]

[;LATIN | ;NONLATIN] [;WIDTH=length]

[;SHAPE=shape_mode]

nliodevice is the ldev or device class name. If the nliodevice is ommitted, the current stdin/stdlist

device is assumed when it is an interactive device. System Supervisor (OP) capability is

required to specify devices other than your own stdin.

lang_id is the language number. The supported language numbers are:

201 Simplified Chinese

211 Traditional Chinese

221 Japanese

231 Korean

51 Arabic SUGURU

If the lang_id is ommitted, the user interface language (USERLANG) set by SETJCW or the

system default language is assumed. (The user interface language has the precedence).

NOTE You can change the system default language by running the

LANGINST.PUB.SYS program. Refer to Chapter 11, “LANGINST,” in this

manual for additional information on LANGINST.

RECCONV indicates that a record of the next I/O request that will be made is to be treated as the

independent record from the current record. The RECCONV option should be used for

terminals. This is the default value used for Asian devices (both terminals and printers).

NORECCONV indicates that a record of the next I/O request that will be made is to be treated as the

continuing data from the current data. The NORECCONV option should be used for printers.

LATIN specifies the LATIN mode. The primary print direction is left to right. The LATIN mode is

used for MEA devices.

NONLATIN specifies the NONLATIN mode. The primary print direction is right to left. The NONLATIN

mode is the default.

length specifies the width of the print line. If length is not specified, the value is the length

specified when the device was configured.

shape_mode specifies the shape type for MEA characters. The value specified may be 1 for the enhanced

font containing 192 shapes, including a number of Lam-Alef ligatures, or 2 for the old font

containing 163 shapes, without the Lam-Alef ligatures. The default value is 1.
