Bidirectional data support

CICS Transaction Gateway supports right-to-left bidirectional (bidi) data.

CICS Transaction Gateway can convert bidi data stored in CHAR containers from logical order to visual right-to-left order before sending this data to CICS. Bidi data returned from CICS is then also converted from visual right-to-left order to logical order. Bidi support is only available for CHAR containers.

The data in the CHAR container can be a mixture of text strings written in languages that are displayed left-to-right and right-to-left. If bidi data support is enabled and a CHAR container contains mixed language text strings, the conversion ensures that correct visual order for each language is applied. For details about how to configure right-to-left bidi text support, see Configuring bidirectional data support.
