SYMPTOM(s):
Wrong characters are printed in a report
Correct characters appears in the screen
Using -cpstream set to ibm850
CHANGE:
Migrated from Progress 8.2x or previous to Progress 8.3x or Progress 9.x
CAUSE:
Since version 8.3A the default value for -cpstream was changed to iso8859-1. If you have an application that was deployed on Progress 8.2x or previous and migrated to Progress 8.3x or Progress 9.x, you must set the -cpstream to ibm850 to maintain the special character compatibility. But since this change affects also the code page for Terminal Code Page (-cpterm), Print Code Page (-cpprint), and Log File Code Page (-cplog) you can have problems printing if your printer uses iso8859-1 code page.
FIX:
Set -cpprint back to iso8859-1 by adding "-cpprint iso8859-1" to your startup command or parameter file.
