NRC (Remote Programmable), the National Replacement Code parameter,
enables you or the host to select a substitute set of international characters for
screen display. The NRC parameter options are:
! Off (Default)
! Danish
! Dutch
! French
! Canadian (Canadian French)
! Finnish
! German
! Italian
! Spanish
! Swedish
! Swiss
! UK
The international characters replace the normally represented ASCII characters
printed on the keycaps on the optional keyboard. Table G shows the NRC
parameter value for each set of international characters available and shows which
ASCII characters are replaced by the NRC characters.
Example: A German user, after setting the NRC parameter to German, can use
the terminal and host computer to create a text file that contains international
characters that appear in German printing. For instance, if a text file contains the
ASCII characters “Pr}fung,” those characters appear on the screen as “Prüfung.”
Any time this file is viewed with the NRC parameter set to German, the text
appears as intended.
However, if the same file is viewed with the NRC parameter set to Off,
international characters particular to German appear as standard ASCII symbolic
characters (such as @, [). This occurs because the keyboard, the host computer,
and the file communicate using the standard ASCII codes for the special
characters.
