Configuring IND$FILE with Arabic support

Before you can transfer Arabic files, you must properly configure the bidirectional language and translation options.

Prerequisites

Before you can configure IND$FILE for Arabic support, perform the following tasks:
  • Ensure that the Windows and BlueZone configuration requirements for BiDi support are met.

  • Disable spell checking. If spell checking is enabled, you cannot process Arabic files.

Procedure

  1. From the Mainframe Display session, click TransferConfigure.
    The Host File Transfer window opens.
  2. Click the Arabic tab.
    Note: If the Arabic tab is not available, ensure that prerequisite steps above are complete.
  3. Select the Enable Arabic Processing check box.
  4. Select the PC Code Page.

    BlueZone automatically handles the PC code page selection for uploads by reading the header on the file. If there is no header, it is assumed to be ANSI. Arabic processing only converts 864 to the selected target PC code pages.

  5. Click OK.
