Finding out if a DBCS font table exists<br />

Use the Check DBCS Font Table (CHKIGCTBL) command to find out if a DBCS<br />

font table exists in your system.<br />

For example, to find out if the table QIGC2424 exists, enter:<br />

CHKIGCTBLIGCTBL(QIGC2424)<br />

If the table does not exist, the system responds with a message. If the table does<br />

exist, the system simply returns without a message.<br />

Check for the existence of a table when adding a new type of DBCS work station<br />

to make sure that the table used by the device exists in the system.<br />

Copying a DBCS font table onto tape or diskette<br />

Use the Copy DBCS Font Table (CPYIGCTBL) command to copy a DBCS font table<br />

onto tape or diskette.<br />

The DBCS font tables are saved when you use the Save System (SAVSYS)<br />

command so you do not have to use the CPYIGCTBL command when performing<br />

normal system backup.<br />

When to copy a DBCS table onto tape or diskette<br />

Copy a DBCS font table onto tape or diskette in the following instances:<br />

v Before deleting that table.<br />

v After new user-defined characters are added to the tables.<br />

v When planning to use the tables on another system.<br />

How to copy a DBCS table onto tape or diskette<br />

To copy a DBCS font table onto a tape or diskettes, do the following:<br />

1. Make sure that you have a tape or diskettes initialized to the *DATA format. If<br />

necessary, initialize the tape or diskettes by specifying the FMT(*DATA)<br />

parameter on the Initialize Diskette (INZDKT) command. See the Tape and<br />

Diskette Device Programming book for complete instructions on initializing tapes<br />

and diskettes.<br />

2. Load the initialized tape or diskette onto the system.<br />

3. Enter the CPYIGCTBL command as follows:<br />

a. Choose the value OPTION(*OUT).<br />

b. Use the DEV parameter to select the device to which you want to copy the<br />

table.<br />

c. Use the SELECT and RANGE parameters to specify which portion of the<br />

table you want copied from the system. See the description of the<br />

CPYIGCTBL command in the CL Referencefor instructions on choosing<br />

SELECT and RANGE parameter values.<br />

The following are two examples of the CPYIGCTBL command used to copy a<br />

DBCS font table to removable media.<br />
