Specifying code pages

Use the -k, -r, and -ke options to specify code pages.

Syntax

–k client_codepage –r server_codepage –ke runtime_codepage

client_codepage: Specifies the code page for the input, output, and build script files on the client. Code page conversion occurs only on text files. The default code page for the Windows® client is IBM-850. The default for Linux® and the UNIX® system is ISO-8859-1.
server_codepage: Specifies the code page used on the server. The default code page is IBM-1047.
runtime_codepage: Specifies the code page for the distributed system's locale. This option defaults to the same value as is specified with the client codepage -k option.

Example

Note: The examples in this topic are for illustrating command syntax. You need to substitute values appropriate to your site for the command parameters.

If Taiwanese Windows is used as the distributed system and the code pages of the input, the output, and the build script files are UTF-8, specify the following the code page options:

-k UTF-8 -r IBM-937 -ke IBM-950
