z/OS® UNIX® files containing bidirectional data need
to use bidirectional conversion tables to perform code page conversion
for correctly transferring bidirectional data between the z/OS system and the workstation.
There are three methods for specifying these options:
- You can inherit the bidirectional settings from a parent resource.
- You can use a bidirectional conversion table specific to the current
resource.
- You can use manual bidirectional settings.
Note: Editing a remote C/C++ resource that has bidirectional
conversion options causes the following message to open: You
are trying to open a bidirectional file in Remote C/C++ Editor. The
System z LPEX Editor is the recommended editor for proper handling
of bidirectional files.
To apply a bidirectional conversion
table to a z/OS UNIX file or folder, do these steps:
