Documentation
Definition
Function selection for the case where a code page converter sees a byte sequence at the end of the input data for which it may be possible that it is the start of a multibyte character.
This function selection defines right from the start, what the converter must do if such a situation occurs. The following values are possible:
'.'
Conversion is canceled before the doubtful byte sequence. If the converter was in a particular state at this time, it does not note this. ("stop")
'M'
A byte or byte sequence like this is treated in the same way as an unconvertible byte. Here a check is also made to see whether the bytes visible up to now may be translatable. ("like_miss")
'R'
Conversion is canceled before the doubtful byte sequence. The converter notes its current state. In this way, the conversion can even be restarted if the input code page can only be translated following its state. ("restartable")
Use
Dependencies
The effect of value 'M' depends on what has been communicated to the code page converter in terms of what it should in the case of untranslatable bytes.
Example
Test program RSCP0032 is available.
'R' is only relevant for JIS or other ISO-2022 code pages.
