AppendixC Environment Variables
This appendix provides an alphabetical listing of all the environment variables that are used by SNAplus2 programs. It includes a brief summary of how SNAplus2 uses each variable, and provides a
Most of these environment variables are specific to SNAplus2 programs. However, a small number are standard
C.1 Environment Variables That Affect All Functions
C.1.1 LANG
The setting of the LANG environment variable determines the language used for online help and message catalogs supplied by SNAplus2.
C.1.2 PATH
SNAplus2 uses the PATH environment variable to specify where executable programs are stored on the
The
Alternatively, you can specify the directory name when you run the program, as in the following examples:
/opt/sna/bin/snapadmin init_node
/opt/sna/bin/snap3270
/opt/sna/bin/snapprtsty
/opt/sna/bin/X11/xsnapadmin
/opt/sna/bin/X11/xsnap3270
The sample command lines shown in the SNAplus2 manuals assume that you have added the directories to your PATH environment variable, and do not include the directory names.
C.2 Environment Variables That Affect 3270 Emulation
C.2.1 CONVERTTRANS
The 3270 emulation program uses CONVERTTRANS to specify that transparent data sent by the host on LU 1 printer sessions should be translated from EBCDIC to ASCII before being sent to the printer (or to the print filter program).
•If CONVERTTRANS is set to 1, the program translates transparent data from EBCDIC to ASCII.
•If CONVERTTRANS is not set or is set to 0 (zero), the program does not translate transparent data.
For more details, refer to the information about controlling printer sessions in
C.2.2 IND_FILE
The 3270 emulation program uses IND_FILE to specify the name of the host file transfer program. If you do not set IND_FILE before starting the emulation program, SNAplus2 uses the standard program IND$FILE for
