ASCII-EBCDIC Conversion

By default, CA IDMS Server translates between ASCII and EBCDIC using US English code pages. You can change this behavior and use conversion tables for other languages. Country Extended Code Pages or CECP, can be used to convert single byte character sets. CECP conversion table names can be specified for either your entire system or for a specific Server.

Check the CECP button to specify a CECP table for your Server. This enables the “Conversion Table File” option, allowing you to specify a CECP conversion file.

Edit

Brings up the CA IDMS Code Page Editor, where you can modify the conversion tables to meet your specific requirements.

Browse

Brings up a standard “Browse” window where you can select a conversion table file.

See Chapter 4 for more information about CECP and other Internationalization options, as well as the section entitled “Setting Language Options” later in this chapter.
