When to delete a DBCS font table<br />
Delete an unused DBCS font table to free storage space. For example, if you do not<br />
plan to use Japanese printer 5583 or 5337 with your system, font table QIGC3232 is<br />
not needed and can be deleted.<br />
How to delete a DBCS font table<br />
When deleting a table, do the following:<br />
1. If desired, copy the table onto tape or diskettes. See “Copying a DBCS font<br />
table onto tape or diskette” on page 213 for instructions. If you do not copy the<br />
table to removable media before deleting it, you will not have a copy of the<br />
table for future use.<br />
2. Vary off all devices using that table.<br />
3. Enter the DLTIGCTBL command.<br />
For example, to delete the DBCS font table QIGC3232, enter:<br />
DLTIGCTBL IGCTBL(QIGC3232)<br />
4. Press the Enter key. The system sends inquiry message CPA8424 to the system<br />
operator message queue for you to confirm your intention to delete a DBCS<br />
table.<br />
5. Respond to the inquiry message. The system sends you a message when it has<br />
deleted the table.<br />
Note: Do not delete a DBCS font table if any device using that table is currently<br />
varied on. Also, make sure that the affected controller is not varied on. If<br />
you try to delete the table while the device and controller are varied on, the<br />
system reports any devices attached to the same controller(s) as those<br />
devices, and the controller(s) as damaged the next time you try to print or<br />
display extended characters on an affected device. If such damage is<br />
reported, do the following:<br />
1. Vary off the affected devices, using the Vary Configuration (VRYCFG)<br />
command.<br />
2. Vary off the affected controller.<br />
3. Vary on the affected controller.<br />
4. Vary on the affected devices.<br />
5. Continue normal work.<br />
Starting the character generator utility for DBCS font tables<br />
Use the STRCGU command to start the character generator utility. You may call<br />
the CGU main menu or specify a specific CGU function, depending on the<br />
parameter used. Refer to the ADTS/400: Character Generator Utility book for more<br />
information.<br />
Copying user-defined double-byte characters<br />
Use the STRFMA command to copy user-defined double-byte characters between<br />
an AS/400 DBCS font table and a user font file at a Personal System/55, a 5295<br />
Display Station, or an InfoWindow 3477 Display Station. Refer to the Font<br />
<strong>Management</strong> Aid User’s Guide on how to use this command.<br />
