FIX:
Pre-requisites for Double Byte Enabled Server
--------------------------------------------
An INTERNATIONAL PROMESSAGES SUPPLEMENT will be needed. This is a
free addition to the Database Server, but it must be asked for if
Double Byte Enabled Server is to be used. The International
Promessages Supplement is another license and requires control codes and
needs to be installed.
(The International Promessages Supplement is shipped on all server media, so another set of media is not necessary.)
The International Promessages Supplement loads all the information
necessary under the '$DLC/prolang' directory to run DBE languages.
These directories (jpn, sch, tch, kor,....) include codepages and
coallation tables for these languages.
The same directories also include the empty.db, which must be used to create the DBE database. The empty.db is already set with the correct codepage and coallation table for the language being used. Also found in these directories are a .pf file with the correct settings for startup of the database. Lastly, found in this directory is the promsg.XXX file for that language.
When the make_dbe is run it converts Single Byte executables and scripts to run in the Double Byte Mode.
After running make_dbe in V8 the following files will be renamed:
DBE FILES: _mprosrva _progresa _promtfa
will become;
INSTALLED FILES: _mprosrv _progres _promtf
After running the $DLC/bin/make_dbe, then create a new database using the empty.db from the correct $DLC/prolang directory. Also use the .pf file found in that directory. The database is now ready to use in the Double Byte Mode.
