Issue/Introduction

Are IBM machine codes supported for report processing?

Environment

Release:
Component: XCUATT

Resolution

Since the 3.1 release, CA XCOM for UNIX automatically interprets machine code characters in a report. XCOM identifies a report with machine codes by determining that it has been sent from a mainframe machine code dataset, such as FBM, or that the partner has specified that there are IBM machine codes.
Here is a table that lists the codes that are supported and what is inserted in the report for each code. A 0a character represents a line feed and a 0c character is a top of form.

0X0B SKIP ONE LINE	0a
0X13 SKIP TWO LINES	0a0a
0X1B SKIP THREE LINES	0a0a0a
0X8B SKIPCHAN1	0c
0X93 SKIPCHAN2	0c0a
0X9B SKIPCHAN3	0c0a0a
0XA3 SKIPCHAN4	0c0a0a0a
0XAB SKIPCHAN5	0c0a0a0a0a
0XB3 SKIPCHAN6	0c0a0a0a0a0a
0XB8 SKIPCHAN7	0c0a0a0a0a0a0a
0XC3 SKIPCHAN8	0c0a0a0a0a0a0a0a
0XCB SKIPCHAN9	0c0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a
0XD3 SKIPCHAN10	0c0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a
0XD8 SKIPCHAN11	0c0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a
0XE3 SKIPCHAN12	0c0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a

 

0X01 WRITE NO SPACE	no special characters
0X09 WRITE SPACE ONE	0a - at the end of the record
0X11 WRITE SPACE TWO	0a0a - at the end of the record
0X19 WRITE SPACE THREE	0a0a0a - at the end of the record
