17.3. <strong>Support</strong>ed Character Set Types for the READ<br />

Function<br />

Table H–1 lists 64 character set types defined for the OS 2200 system. Forty of these<br />

are referred to as ASCII-like. This means that the character set is essentially identical to<br />

the ASCII/ISO character set in the octal range 000 through 01777, with any differences<br />

being minor. Table H–1 identifies the character set types that are ASCII-like.<br />

Throughout this section, wherever ASCII or ASCII/ISO is used, the SAR$ capabilities<br />

apply equally to all ASCII-like character sets.<br />

The following character set types may be read from input files:<br />

• Fieldata 6-bit characters<br />

• ASCII-like characters, including ASCII/ISO 9-bit characters and ASCII/ISO 9-bit<br />

characters with embedded shift-coded kanji<br />

• Attributed character data (ACD)<br />

17.3.1. Fieldata<br />

If the input images are in the Fieldata character set, they are translated to the ASCII/ISO<br />

character set before they are returned to the caller. The translated images are returned<br />

to the caller in the text buffer. No attributes are returned to the caller.<br />

17.3.2. ASCII/ISO and ASCII-like<br />

If the input images are in the ASCII/ISO character set, they are returned to the caller in<br />

the text buffer. No attributes are returned to the caller.<br />
