The Open ServerConnect environment must be customized to process Japanese requests. A system programmer customizes your environment when Open ServerConnect is installed. Open ServerConnect loads the customization module when TDINIT is called.
Customization information includes client login information from the client login packet that TRS forwards to the mainframe along with the client request. Among the client information contained in the login packet is the name of the client character set. See “The login packet” for details.
The following options are set during customization:
The native language used at the mainframe
DBCS: whether double-byte kanji characters are used
Information about SBCSs
The use of this option depends on whether DBCS is used:
If double-byte characters are used, this option indicates whether single-byte characters are treated as hankaku katakana or as lowercase alphabetic characters. The default, as shipped, is hankaku katakana.
If double-byte characters are not used, this option names the default (single-byte) character set. In the current version, the default character set is iso-1.
If the native language is Japanese, TDINIT loads the JCM.
An Open ServerConnect program can retrieve customization information with the function TDGETUSR.
