Code Pages

Report Builder and Report Engine, when executing in memory, always use the code page specified by the Internal Code Page (-cpinternal) parameter to manipulate character data. In addition, when Report Builder and Report Engine display characters to the monitor, they also use the -cpinternal code page to display character data. The default code page for cpinternal is ISO8859-1.

There are many operating system files that Report Builder and Report Engine read from or write to. Some of these files might use a code page other than -cpinternal. For these files, Report Builder and Report Engine try to convert between -cpinternal and whatever code page the file uses. The conversion uses tables in the convmap.cp file.
