Note: If you are already using a customized TCT rather than DFHTCTDY (that is,
something other than 'NO' or 'DY' is specified on the SIT TCT parameter),
you must add your translation code to the TCT you are using.
Figure 133 shows a suggested way to code the assembler source statements to
translate your national characters.
Translating TS data sharing messages to uppercase
CICS temporary storage (TS) data sharing uses AXM services to write operator
messages. These messages are in mixed-case English; table AXMMSTAB is used
to remove unprintable characters. If necessary, you can modify AXMMSTAB to
convert the messages to uppercase English.
The modules that use AXM message services are AXMSI, AXMSC, and
DFHXQMN. AXMSI and AXMSC are both in a linklist library; DFHXQMN is in the
CICS authorized library. To convert TS data sharing messages to uppercase, modify
the copy of AXMMSTAB used by each of these modules by using SPZAP with the
following input (for each module):
NAME modulename AXMMSTAB
