SPECIAL CHARACTER PROCESSING

As mentioned in the introduction, four characters are considered
special characters. The processing for these characters is described

below.

Hex 20

If a 94-character graphic character set has been mapped into the GL

region, 20H always prints as a space character (SP). The justification
feature can modify how space characters are treated (See the JFY
command).

If a 96-character graphic character set has been mapped into the GL
region, then 20H causes the specified character from that set to be
printed. If 20H is undefined in that character set, the error character

is printed.

Hex 7F

If a 94-character graphic character set has been mapped into the GL

region, 7FH is always ignored.

If a 96-character graphic character set has been mapped into the GL
region, 7FH causes the specified character from that set to be
printed. If 7FH is undefined in that character set, the error character
is printed.

Hex A0

If a 94-character graphic character set is selected into GR, A0H
causes the error character to print.

If a 96-character graphic character set resides in GR, A0H prints the
specified character from that set. If A0H is undefined in that set, the
error character is printed.

Hex FF

If a 94-character graphic character set has been mapped into the GR
region, FFH is always ignored.

If a 96-character graphic character set has been mapped to GR, FFH
prints the specified character from that set. If FFH is undefined in
that set, the error character is printed.
