description
(Keyword; Only for the C and RPG language bindings) Specifies the format of the text returned by TET_
get_text( ) (default on zSeries with USS or MVS: ebcdicutf8; on all other systems: utf8):
utf8 Strings will be returned in null-terminated UTF-8 format (on both ASCII- and EBCDIC-based
systems).
ebcdicutf8 (Only available on EBCDIC-based systems) Strings will be returned in null-terminated EBCDICencoded
UTF-8 format. Code page 37 will be used on iSeries, code page 1047 on zSeries.
utf16
Strings will be returned in UTF-16 format in the machine’s native byte ordering (on Intel x86
architectures the native byte order is little-endian, while on Sparc and PowerPC systems it is
big-endian).
(Name string) Relative or absolute file name of the UPR resource file. The resource file will be loaded
immediately. Existing resources will be kept; their values will be overridden by new ones if they are set
again. Explicit resource options will be evaluated after entries in the resource file.
The resource file name can also be supplied in the environment variable TETRESOURCEFILE or with a
Windows registry key (see Section 5.2, »Resource Configuration and File Searching«, page 51). Default:
tet.upr (on MVS: upr)
(List of name strings) Relative or absolute path name(s) of a directory containing files to be read. The
search path can be set multiply; the entries will be accumulated and used in least-recently-set order (see
Section 5.2, »Resource Configuration and File Searching«, page 51). An empty string deletes all existing
search path entries. On Windows the search path can also be set via a registry entry. Default: empty
1. Option values can be accumulated with multiple calls.
2. Unlike the UPR syntax an equal character ’=’ between the name and value is neither required nor allowed.
