Chapter 5 Accessing Characters and Character Sets
Character Set Selection Command (ISET)
Purpose Accesses one of the 32 multinational character sets from Table
21. Use this command to access a different character set from
the configured power-up default character set.
Mode NORMAL, CREATE, and EXECUTE
Format In Normal and Execute modes: (cc)ISET;
n
In the Create mode (SFCC not required): ISET;
n
(cc) Represents the Special Function Control
Character.
ISET The Multinational Character Set command; enter
ISET.
n
The character substitution set number; enter a
value from Table 21.
For example, refer to Table 23. If you want to use
the User Set 1 created in the example on page 255,
call ISET;24. Similarly, if you want User Set 5 that
you had previously defined, call ISET;28 to select
and print the User Set 5 substitution set.
Comments You can issue the ISET command as many times within a form as
needed. The character set selected will remain active until a new
character set is selected. If you choose an incorrect character set
value or make a syntax error, an error message will result. If a
value for
n
is not specified, an error message will print.
Using the ISET command in the Execute mode declares the
character set for use in conjunction with the dynamic data within
that Execute command. Fixed form data specified in the Create
mode is not affected by an ISET command in the Execute mode.
The character set selected will remain in effect until another
character set is selected.
