Specifying input parameters
Using LCDS Print Description Language 2-21
Options
Default Codetype: EBCDIC
CODE DEFAULT
parameter: points
to note
• The DEFAULT parameter must be coded before any ASSIGN
parameter for the assignment exceptions to become active. A
DEFAULT parameter following any defined ASSIGN
parameters causes those ASSIGN parameters to be ignored.
• Multiple user defined character code translation tables are
allowed, but only one may be without a command identifier.
– The corresponding CODE and LCODE parameters of the
VOLUME command are used to reference each user-
created code table by a command identifier.
– The USER option of the CODE and LCODE parameters
of the VOLUME command references a user defined code
translation table in which no command identifier is coded.
CODE DEFAULT
parameter
examples
Following are two examples illustrating the use of the CODE
DEFAULT parameter.
Example 1 Assume that your input data is recorded in EBCDIC. On output,
however, codes 5A, 5B and 5C (characters !, $, *, respectively),
are assigned to the character blank (X'20'). The command to
modify the EBCDIC base table is as follows:

Option Definition
codetype Can be one the following:
•
ASCII
• BCD
• EBCDIC
• PEBCDIC
• H2BCD
• H6BCD
• IBMBCD
value A one byte hexadecimal, octal, or alpha constant. If a value is specified, all
inputs are coded to that value.
CODE DEFAULT=EBCDIC, ASSIGN=(X'5A', X'20'),
ASSIGN=(X'5B', X'20'),
ASSIGN=(X'5C',X'20');
