VMS Help EDIT, /TPU, /CHARACTER_SET *Conan The Librarian |
/CHARACTER_SET[={DEC_MCS (default) | ISO_LATIN1 | GENERAL}]
Determines the character set you want DECTPU to use to display 8-bit
characters. The choice of character set affects how DECTPU performs
the following operations on characters:
o Converting to lowercase
o Converting to uppercase
o Inverting case
o Removing diacritical marks
o Converting to uppercase and removing diacritical marks
The choice of character set also affects how your text appears when
printed. For the text displayed in DECTPU to look the same when
printed, you must choose the same character set for both DECTPU and
the printer.
There are two ways to specify the character set you want to use:
o Define the TPU$CHARACTER_SET logical name to specify the character
set.
This lets you use that character set for all editing sessions---
including when you invoke DECTPU within MAIL or other utilities.
You can put the definition in your LOGIN.COM file. For example,
the following commands define TPU$CHARACTER_SET as ISO_LATIN1, and
then invoke DECTPU using that character set:
$ DEFINE TPU$CHARACTER_SET iso_latin1
$ EDIT/TPU
o Use /CHARACTER_SET= and specify the character set on the command
line.
This overrides any definition of the TPU$CHARACTER_SET logical
name. By default, DECTPU uses the DEC_MCS character set. For
example, the following command invokes DECTPU, using the GENERAL
character set:
$ EDIT/TPU /CHARACTER_SET=general
If the character set you specify either with /CHARACTER_SET or by
defining TPU$CHARACTER_SET is invalid, the editing session is
aborted, returning you to the DCL level.
