Operation
NLIOUTIL allows the user to start or stop the NLIO service for the
current interactive $STDIN and $STDLIST devices. System Supervisor (OP
capability) is required to start or stop the NLIO service for a logical
device (ldev) or device class name other than the $STDIN.
When NLIO is started for a device with the NLIOUTIL OPEN command, status
information is written to a file named NLIODEF.PUB.SYS. When the
system is restarted, NLIO reads in all the previous settings from
NLIODEF.PUB.SYS file. There is no need to run NLIOUTIL to open a device
unless you wish to change the settings for the device.
The actual update of NLIODEF.PUB.SYS is performed when the NLIOUTIL
program is terminated with the END/EXIT/E command.
To invoke NLIOUTIL enter:
NLIOUTIL
or
RUN NLIOUTIL.PUB.SYS;INFO=infostring
infostring is an NLIOUTIL command passed with the INFO parameter of the
RUN command. NLIOUTIL automatically exits after executing the command
passed with the INFO parameter.
NLIOUTIL Commands
The NLIOUTIL utility has the following commands:
HELP Shows the usage of each NLIOUTIL command.
OPEN Starts NLIO service for a specified device with a specified
language.
SHOW Displays the status of NLIO service for a specified device.
SHUT Stops NLIO service for a specified device.
EXIT/END/E Exits the NLIOUTIL utility.
Each of the commands is explained in the following sections.
HELP Command
The HELP command shows the usage of each of the NLIOUTIL commands.
HELP [HELP | OPEN | SHUT | SHOW | EXIT | END | E ]
OPEN Command
The OPEN command is used to start the NLIO service for a specified device
with a specified language.
OPEN [nliodevice] [,lang_id] [;RECCONV | ;NORECCONV]
[;LATIN | ;NONLATIN] [;WIDTH=length]
[;SHAPE=shape_mode]
nliodevice is the ldev or device class name. If the
nliodevice is ommitted, the current stdin/stdlist
device is assumed when it is an interactive device.
System Supervisor (OP) capability is required to
specify devices other than your own stdin.
lang_id is the language number. The supported language
numbers are:
201 Simplified Chinese
211 Traditional Chinese
221 Japanese
231 Korean
51 Arabic
If the lang_id is ommitted, the user interface
language (USERLANG) set by SETJCW or the system
default language is assumed. (The user interface
language has the precedence).
__________________________________________________
NOTE You can change the system default language by
running the LANGINST.PUB.SYS program. Refer
to Chapter 11 in this manual for
additional information on LANGINST.
__________________________________________________
RECCONV indicates that a record of the next I/O request
that will be made is to be treated as the
independent record from the current record. The
RECCONV option should be used for terminals. This
is the default value used for Asian devices (both
terminals and printers).
NORECCONV indicates that a record of the next I/O request
that will be made is to be treated as the
continuing data from the current data. The
NORECCONV option should be used for printers.
LATIN specifies the LATIN mode. The primary print
direction is left to right. The LATIN mode is used
for MEA devices.
NONLATIN specifies the NONLATIN mode. The primary print
direction is right to left. The NONLATIN mode is
the default.
length specifies the width of the print line. If length
is not specified, the value is the length specified
when the device was configured.
shape_mode specifies the shape type for MEA characters. The
value specified may be 1 for the enhanced font
containing 192 shapes, including a number of
Lam-Alef ligatures, or 2 for the old font
containing 163 shapes, without the Lam-Alef
ligatures. The default value is 1.
SHOW Command
The SHOW command displays the status of the NLIO service for a specified
device.
SHOW [nliodevice]
nliodevice is the ldev or device class name. If the
nliodevice is ommitted, the current stdin device is
assumed when it is an interactive device. System
Supervisor (OP) capability is required to specify
devices other than your own stdin. The "at" sign
(@) can be specified to designate all devices that
are currently opened.
SHUT Command
The SHUT command stops the NLIO service for a specifed device.
SHUT [nliodevice]
nliodevice is the ldev or device class name. If the
nliodevice is ommitted, the current stdin\stdlist
device is assumed when it is an interactive device.
System Supervisor (OP) capability is required to
specify devices other than your own stdin. The
"at" sign (@) can be specified to designate all
devices that are currently opened.
EXIT/END/E Command
The EXIT, END, or E command exits the NLIO utility.
EXIT | END | E
Restrictions
* Devices must be configured for NLIO via SYSGEN or NMMGR.
* System Supervisor (OP) capability is required to specify devices
other than your own stdin.
* NLIO cannot be used for the system console.
