16 NLIOUTIL
The NLIOUTIL utility dynamically activates the Native Language I/O (NLIO) subsystem
for Asian and Middle East/African terminals and printers. (NLIO is the basic input and
output system integrated into MPE/iX for Native Language Support NLS.) Once activated
by NLIOUTIL, properly configured native devices may use the Native Language I/O facility.
NOTE
You use the System Generator utility (SYSGEN) to configure devices connected
directly to the system and the Node Management Configuration Services
(NMMGR) to configure devices connected to a Distributed Terminal Controller
via Local Area Network.
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.
