The consequence of Unicode representation in the work files is that
all interfaces that allow the user to access work file records di-
rectly cannot be maintained compatible. This applies to the L-Mode
subprogram interface, to the @RUN interface and to the IEDTGLE in-
terface in Locate-Mode. Thus you can no more use these interfaces
if you want to use the new functions.
The compatibility mode offers the full EDT V16.6B function inclu-
sive the old L-Mode subprogram interface. A new @MODE statement in
the compatibility mode allows changing into the Unicode mode.
LMS V3.3B
Consistency check when extracting library elements in Unicode or in
ISO character set
openNet Server V3.2
- VLAN support in BCAM Together with the HNC-IV 91853, BCAM V19.0
(part of openNet Server V3.2) provides an enhanced VLAN support
compared with HNC-IIIR. It uses an IP address-based assignment
between the partner system and VLAN instead of a port-based assign-
ment. In doing so, the VLAN tag support is no more realized by the
HNC but by BCAM V19.0. On SX servers, the HNC-IV 91853 can only be
connected on type S channels.
- XHCS-SYS V2.0 with support for the BS2000 Unicode code sets
The basis for Unicode support in BS2000/OSD are enhancements within
the XHCS-SYS V2.0 subsystem, that is the central information source
about the system’s coded character sets. XHCS-SYS V2.0 is part of
openNet Server V3.2. In addition to the previously supported 8-Bit
ISO codes ISO8859-1/2/3/4/5/7/9/15 and the corresponding EBCDIC
codes, XHCS-SYS V2.0 supports the Unicode formats UTF-8, UTF-16 (2
Bytes, BS2000) and UTF-E in BS2000. UTF-E is according to UTF-
EBCDIC of IBM. XHCS-SYS V2.0 comprises conversion tables from the
supported 8-Bit ISO codes to Unicode and vice versa. In addition to
the characters of these ISO codes, XHCS-SYS supports ca 70 further
characters of the Unicode character set, e.g. the special charac-
ters used in the public administration.
PERCON V2.9
New functions for managing Unicode data
- Conversion of files with Non-Unicode format into files with Uni-
code format: PERCON supports the conversion of SAM files resp. par-
ticular record areas (with SET-RECORD-MAPPING)
- Normalization of data with Unicode format: In certain circum-
stances data with Unicode format can exist in not-normalized form.
PERCON can perform the normalization of these data. Only the ‘com-
posed’ variant is supported.
RSO V3.5
Support for Unicode printers at the RSO V3.5 release date, the Uni-
code support in fact refers to the Printronix 7000 printer with the
ProPrinter and EPSON-FX emulations. RSO supports (in addition to
EBCDIC and ASCII) the UTF-E, UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings, whereas
the different control characters must be encoded respectively (see
RSO manual for details).
Adaptation of header and trailer pages
The header and trailer pages adaptation possibilities that are
available for local printing as of SPOOL V4.6 (variables, condi-
tional text, special functions, templates, etc.) are now available
also for remote printing.
SORT V7.9
Unicode support by means of a three-step sort of UTF-16 fields com-
plying with the Unicode Standard
