EUCJIC Support for Double-Byte Enabled Progress
DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.
INTRODUCTION:
=============
This Progress Technical Support Knowledgebase entry is intended to
clarify double-byte configuration issues which use character clients
v8.2A and above.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
Progress Double-Byte character clients do not fully support EUCJIS
for -cpinternal. If you try to run DBE CUI clients this way, you will
end up with incorrect behavior and results when inputting/processing/
displaying the EUCJIS half-width katakana characters. This is
expected behavior.
While this is not an issue with Korean or Chinese, it should be noted
that EUC-based Japanese double-byte codepages are not supported.
NOTE:
* regardless of whether you are using a DBE character client for
double-byte codepage, the -cpinternal, -cpstream, -cpterm, -cpprint,
etc. all must match, as well as match the local codepage using vt100
terminals (while terminal emulation is not supported, if you use it
you must insure that these settings match as well).
For Japanese, you must use shift-jis
For Korean, you must use KSC5601, or EUC Korean, depending on your
terminal's locale
For simplified/traditional Chinese, use GB2312/BIG-5, or EUC Chinese
depending on your terminal's locale
NOTE ALSO:
Support for double-byte character clients prior to Progress version
8.2A was limited to batch clients (no imput or any interactive
operations).
