Internationalization Startup Parameters

In order to run the native clients you must be familiar with the defaults for the -cp* startup parameters. The defaults in the AS/400 environment are different from the defaults in the Windows and UNIX environments, as Table 5–6 illustrates.

The main -cp* parameters are -cpinternal and -cpstream. Some guidelines on these and the other parameters follow:

Observe that the native clients use IBM037 as the default code page value for the -cpinternal and -cpstream parameters rather than the Progress default code page values of ISO8859-1 and IBM850, respectively.

If you store procedures in the IFS in ASCII format (IBM850) directly from a Windows machine to a mapped drive, you must set -cpstream parameter appropriately. In this case, you must set it to either IBM850 or ISO8859-1. For example, the following command writes files into the IFS that can then be read by an ASCII client:

OUTPUT TO file CONVERT TARGET "IBM850"
