| The APL language uses some 'greek'ish characters. I wish to use up-arrow and down-arrow on an ISPF panel. Is there a way to display APL characters in an ISPF panel? Whilst mainly using my normal EBCDIC characters. |

| Use the Graphics escape attribute, and hope your emulator supports the APL character set. |

I do not have a good example of how to do so. Can you explain? |

| You might want to look into x3270, which says it has APL support. |

My emulator has APL character support. I can turn it on and type to see what characters are produced.
My question of how to do is about how to write a panel that shows these characters. The dialog developers reference is not clear in this area. I am looking for an example. |

| IIRC You might have also to use a different translate table inside ISPF |

Hej Robert,
I recently wrote something remarkably similar.
The displays (attached) toggle using the GE command or one can specifically issue GE OFF, GE ON, TEXT ON, TEXT OFF.
Petty much written for educational purposes but I use it a lot nowadays.
It took me a while to get used to Graphic Escape chars. I have to admit I had help from Marvin Knight in Raleigh to start with and it was only recently I was given the requirement to use them! |
