The
conversionTable property of the
asynchLink element
in the linkage options part specifies the name of the conversion table
that is used to convert parameter data when the program uses the
vgLib.startTransaction system
function. The
conversionTable property is
meaningful only if all the following are true:
- The started program is on CICS®
- The value of type is remote
- The started program runs on a platform that supports the ASCII
character set
The default is that no conversion occurs, in which case the program
must perform any required conversion by calling sysLib.convert or
by defining a conversion template to CICS.
You can specify one of the following values:
- conversion table name
- The originating platform uses the conversion table specified.
For a list of tables, see Data conversion.
- *
- Use the default conversion table. The name of that table is ELACNxxx,
where the value of xxx is the value of the targetNLS build
descriptor option.
- PROGRAMCONTROLLED
- The caller uses the conversion table name that is in the sysVar.callConversionTable system
variable at run time. If sysVar.callConversionTable contains
blanks, no conversion occurs.
For further details, see Data conversion;
see also the topics "convert()" and "callConversionTable" in the EGL
Language Reference.
