SYMPTOM(s):
Extended characters are not imported nor exported correctly
The data is imported or exported using 4GL programs and the Data Dictionary.
CHANGE:
-cpstream was changed so that extended characters could be printed correctly on a specific printer.
FIX:
-cpstream changes the default codepage for any data that is output by a Progress client, as well as the codepage in which Progress expects input data.
Changing -cpstream only so that a specific printer can print characters correctly is not the correct fix.
Please revert to the codepage in use previously (so that data can be import and exported correctly), and change the 4GL used to output to the specific printer to:
OUTPUT TO <device> CONVERT TARGET "<the printer's codepage>".
For example:
OUTPUT TO PRINTER CONVERT TARGET "IBM437".
