Code pages and national language support

HCL Compass interacts with a variety of operating systems, vendor databases, Web browsers, and other applications that use a variety of languages and characters. Even when these systems or applications use the same language, they might not use the same binary representation for the characters in that language.

To administer a HCL Compass environment effectively requires some understanding of national language support (NLS) and code pages.

Information on using the national language support (NLS) features provided by HCL Compass is divided into three broad areas:
  • an overview of NLS features.
  • guidelines for preparing to configure HCL Compass to take advantage of NLS features and data code page support.
  • instructions for configuring and using HCL Compass NLS features
