Understanding Character Processing Tables
Progress provides tables that let you tailor the character processing of applications to be deployed across multiple locales to the precise needs of each locale. These character processing tables include character attribute tables, case tables, collation tables, code-page conversion tables, and word-break tables.
These tables (except for word-break tables) are included in the
convmap.dat
file, which you compile to produce aconvmap.cp
file, which you provide access to by copying to a certain directory or by setting an environment variable. Progress supplies a defaultconvmap.dat
file and a corresponding defaultconvmap.cp
file.Word-break tables, which the
convmap.dat
file does not include, reside in theDLC/prolang/convmap
directory. You can create a word-break table from scratch or modify one that Progress supplies. In either case, you compile the word-break table, provide access to the compiled version of the word-break table by copying it to a certain directory or by setting an environment variable, associate the compiled version with a database, and rebuild the database’s indexes.This chapter have the following sections:
