Developing a Custom Conversion DLL

A custom conversion DLL replaces the DLL used by CA IDMS Server to handle DBCS. This DLL is dynamically loaded when it is first used, and called for each character field sent to or received from the CA IDMS system. This includes SQL syntax, input parameters, output data, and some internal control blocks.

A custom conversion DLL can be written in any language that supports the Microsoft Windows DLL calling conventions. It must be thread safe.
