National Language and Double-byte Character Considerations

Consider the following information and limitations if you use National Language Support (NLS) and DBCS characters with CA Gen:

• The acronym CJK, used in the documentation, means Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
• The CA Gen software does not support DBCS language or right‑to-left languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, for cross-generation from the Toolset or CSE to the z/OS platform.
• Since CA Gen Toolset is not Unicode-enabled, it can only display characters within the local character mapping.
• MIXED and DBCS domain type characteristics of an input field on a Web Generation application are not enforced as they are in a GUI application.

CA Gen does not support using NLS characters in the following entities:

• Dialect Name, Message Table Name, and Trans Table Name of the Dialect dialog
• Pathnames
• Load module names
• Model name
• Transaction name
• The Build Tool Assemble dialog for GUI applications
• Component Architecture Diagram name
• Scoping subject area name
• Web Services Definition names
