>From the section of the ISPF manual that I previously referenced: <quote> ISPF uses these translation tables:
t 2-byte input translation table t 2-byte output translation table t Uppercase character translation table t Lowercase character translation table t Valid terminal output translation table t Generic string master translation table t Alphabetic character translation table t Collating sequence translation table </quote> These tables are globally set in ISPF and are not customized by the code page that you set in ISPF. There is a single, "hard coded", set of translate tables. The default table that comes with ISPF is for CP-037 (I think). If you need some other translation, then the sysprog must customize the table. But it is GLOBAL to all ISPF users that have the table. I guess it could be "per user" by having a whole set of load modules, each in a different library, and which one gets fetched would depend on which DSN was in the user's STEPLIB or ISPLLIB. But it could not be changed "on the fly" to the best that I can see. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
