Re: Any "Turkish EBCDIC" gurus out there?

I'm not sure what documentation you're looking at but a search of the V5R3
Information Center using 'turkish keyboard' finds that TKB and TRB are two
different keyboard layouts for Turkish and that both use CCSID 1026.

As for telling the system your keyboard type that can be done in a variety
of ways.  When developing your own telnet support it's discussed in the
5250 telnet RFC 2877.  When using an existing telnet client hopefully it's
in your client documentation.

A potential new project involves translation of one of our
products into Turkish. As luck would have it, the
Affirmative Twinax Yestation we bought last year as a new
console terminal happens to speak Turkish (and French, and
German, and . . .)

For language, it has 2 Turkish versions: "Turkish" and
"New Turkish." The latter, which comes up as KBDTYPE
"TRB", appears to be a close match with an EBCDIC Code
Page 1026 chart one of my colleagues found, but the former
(which comes up as KBDTYPE "TKB") shows a very different
code page, with (among other oddball characters he says
aren't actually used in Turkish) H-strikeout (upper and
lowercase), J with various diacriticals, and so forth, and
lacking right-curly-brace and right-square-bracket.

Anybody know what I'm looking at?

And while I'm at it, any 5250 data stream or TN5250 gurus
out there who know how a terminal (or TN5250 client) is
supposed to tell the system its KBDTYPE?
