Defining the Language and Codepage
E-2 Oracle Application Server Adapters for IMS/DB User's Guide
■ From the Language list, select the NLS supported language to use in this
binding. Valid values are are listed in the Language Name column of NLS
Language Codes table.
■ From the Codepage list, select the codepage that you want to use with this
language. The code pages available are determined by the Language that is
selected. If you have additional code pages available, you can manually enter
them in this field.
Note: If you change the language, the code page will also change. Check to be
sure that you want to use the selected code page with the language you
selected.
If no codepage is selected, the default codepage for the selected language is
used.
■ From the NLS string list, select the NLS string for this language and code
page. The NLS strings available are determined by the code page that is
selected. If you have additional NLS strings available, you can manually enter
them in this field.
The codepage is used by a field with a data type defined as nlsString. This
parameter is used for a field with a codepage that is different than the
machine’s codepage. This property includes values for the name of the
codepage and whether the character set reads from right to left (as in
middle-eastern character sets).
For example, the following specifies a Japanese EUC 16-bit codepage:
<misc nlsString="JA16EUC,false"/>
7. Save the change. New servers will use the language selected.
The following table lists the codepages:
