BSC Programmer’s Guide
EBCDIC/CRC-16 character set is used. The parity used for ASCII transmission is nor-
mally odd.
To set this option using the DLI configuration file, use the parity parameter; for exam-
ple,
parity = “odd”. See Table 7–2 on page 191.
6.7 Character Set Option (7)
This option determines the character code for the BSC control sequences used on the
transmission line. It also determines what type of block checking is done on data blocks.
The BSC software transmits all control characters on the line with space parity when no
parity (Section 6.6) is selected.
You can configure the BSC 2780/3780 software to transmit and receive the following
data combinations:
1. CRC-16 or CCITT-0 block check:
• EBCDIC non-transparent
• EBCDIC transparent
• ASCII non-transparent, no parity
• ASCII non-transparent, parity on control characters only
• ASCII transparent, no parity
• ASCII transparent, parity on control characters only
2. LRC-8 block check:
• ASCII non-transparent, no parity
• ASCII non-transparent, with parity
• ASCII transparent, no parity
• ASCII transparent, with parity
To set this option using the DLI configuration file, use the charSet parameter; for exam-
ple,
charSet = “ebcdiccrc16”. See Table 7–2 on page 191.
