These control language (CL) command parameters can be used to change
cultural and linguistic conventions for some display and printer devices.
Note: Some printer device descriptions do not allow you to specify a CHRID.
- Character identifier (CHRID) parameter. You can change the character identifier
when you create or change device descriptions for printers and displays. Change
the character identifier for a printer or display device using one of the
following commands:
- The Create Device Description (Display) (CRTDEVDSP)
- The Change Device Description (Display) (CHGDEVDSP)
- The Create Device Description (Printer) (CRTDEVPRT)
- The Change Device Description (Printer) (CHGDEVPRT)
- Keyboard type (KBDTYPE) parameter. You can set the keyboard language type
for a keyboard when you create a device description. Set the keyboard language
type using the CHGDEVDSP command.
- Workstation customization (WSCST) parameter. You can set the workstation
customization parameter when creating a device to specify the use of a customized
keyboard layout. To set this parameter, the display device must be varied
off. You can specify the WSCST parameter when using the CRTDEVDSP command.
- Language type (LNGTYPE) parameter. When you create an ASCII printer using
the CRTDEVPRT command, the LNGTYPE parameter describes the default country
or region keyboard language identifier for the printer. When you specify the
*SYSVAL value, the QKBDTYPE system value is used.
