SQUAREB opsys — Which square brackets to use

SQUAREB is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port.

The SQUAREB parameter can be used to override the default EBCDIC characters for square brackets in the Janus Web Server log file. This can be useful if the Janus Web Server defaults (X'AD'/X'BD' under CMS, and X'BA'/X'BB' under MVS) are not appropriate for the file transfer program that transfers the log to an ASCII based system.

SQUAREB must be followed by either of the following:

CMS Indicates that X'AD' and X'BD' are to be used for left and right square brackets.
MVS Indicates that X'BA' and X'BB' are to be used.

The SQUAREB parameter has no affect on the translation of square brackets in text that is sent to the browser.

SQUAREB is valid only for WEBSERV ports.
