Information Access Server: Database Administration

Specifying Your Character Set 

The following types of data are handled in one of ten character sets on
the host HP 3000:

   *   Tables generated on the host HP 3000 from host or remote databases
       or files

   *   Data downloaded from the mainframe to the host HP 3000

   *   Data uploaded from the PC to the host HP 3000

   *   Data (from any source) saved in any of the formats available on
       the HP 3000

The default character set is ROMAN-8 (USASCII). If you are using one of
the nine supported ISO-7 character sets, then as the last step in the
initial installation of Access Server, you or your System Manager runs
ADMIN.PPC.SYS with PARM=8 to specify the new character set for your site:

         :RUN ADMIN.PPC.SYS;PARM=8;INFO="ADMIN"

You are then prompted for one of the following character sets:

           0   ROMAN-8 (USASCII)
           1   SVENSK/SUOMI
           2   DANSK/NORSK
           3   FRANCAIS M
           4   FRANCAIS
           5   DEUTSCH
           6   UK
           7   ESPANOL M
           8   ESPANOL
           9   ITALIANA

In all likelihood, you will only need to identify the character set once,
upon initial installation of the product.
