Parameters

default If you specify the default parameter for the set showSosi command, the current view will use the value of default.showSosi to determine whether to display emulated SO/SI control characters.
on If you specify the on parameter for the set showSosi command, emulated SO/SI control characters will be displayed in the current view if the source character encoding of the file is EBCDIC DBCS. If you specify the on parameter for the set default.showSosi command, SO/SI control characters will be displayed in all the views that have showSosi set to default.
off If you specify the off parameter for the set showSosi command, emulated SO/SI control characters will not be displayed in the current view. If you specify the off parameter for the set default.showSosi command, SO/SI control characters will not display in all the views that have showSosi set to default.
install If you specify the install parameter for the set default.showSosi command, all of the views that have showSosi set to default will use the value of install.showSosi to determine whether to display emulated SO/SI control characters.
