Specifying a Code Page Value

Translation occurs automatically except during the following situations when you must indicate or select a code page value:

During manual model checkout, when you log in to the Checkout Client and select a model to check out, the Checkout dialog includes a Destination Codepage list box listing valid code pages to which the model can be translated. Amodel can be translated to the correct character representation for the destination toolset receiving the checkout.trn.

For example, use this when you have a model that is stored on a UNIX CSE and want to check it out translated to a format suitable for a Windows toolset.

The download command includes a parameter, -i <requester code page>, that supports code page translation. Use this parameter with the download and extract checkout situations.

Specify the code page value of the destination machine for which you are preparing the transaction file, a toolset, or another CSE.

When the model is stored with a language code value of zero, there is no translation. When the download command includes the –i parameter, the code page value is ignored.

When a model has a zero language code, select the build code page. The build code page si the active code page of the toolset that is used when the model was originally built.

Note: For information about extracting a model or subset from the host to the CSE, see the Host Encyclopedia Subsetting User Guide.
