Issue/Introduction

How does the Thai codepage 838 get implemented in View?

 

Environment

Release: 12.1

Resolution

The Thai codepage 838, though not one of the standard View codepages, can be implemented by:

• The table is to be 256 bytes long and contains the translation for each value x'00'-x'FF'. 

         Each unused table position should be set to x'4B' (a period character). 

• SARINIT CODEPAGE=... can be set by sites using other than standard English characters that may be un-printable, un-displayable and/or resulting from special PC keyboard keys. 

•  The translate table should be link-edited with the following attributes: 

         AMODE(31) RMODE(ANY) RENT REUS AC(1) 

•  The table should be stored as a new View EBC load module starting with ExxCP___ followed by a 1-3 character ID.

          This ID would then be specified in the SARINIT CODEPAGE= value (for example, for View 12.2, EC2CP838 would correspond to CODEPAGE=838).
