GOAL:
The DLC/PROLANG Directory Explained
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Versions
FIX:
Each subdirectory of the PROLANG directory contains a promsgs file for the language that it represents, a .df file for each code page, and an empty database that is marked with a code page appropriate for the language.
Some directories have more than one .pf file because a language is used in more than one region. Although the language might be common to these regions, other customs, such as date or number format or collation, might be different, so other settings in the .pf file must be different.
Installation creates a startup.pf in the $DLC directory with settings that you are prompted for. The .pf files in these directories (below) are example settings:

Convmap.dat:
Convmap.dat is now partitioned into several .dat files. It uses the new INCLUDE syntax that includes the smaller files but still builds a comprehensive convmap.cp. The portioning makes the management of the many tables easier and simpler.
convmap.dat and the other .dat files are located in the $DLC/prolang/convmap directory. The convmap.cp file remains in $DLC.
The convmap directory also contains some new files that are used for defining word break rules. These files are named <codepage>bas.wbt. The "bas" is for "basic", meaning the default behavior. There is one table for each code page
family.
The table can be used for the code page that it is named for, or for any code page that it is convertible to.
The table v8-deflt.wbt is the table provided with Progress Versions 7.x and 8.x and is provided for compatibility. Progress recommends installing the new table that is appropriate for your database character set, and to rebuild indexes in order to improvements word indexing (it is not required).
If you change any of the *.dat tables you can make a new convmap.cp with the command:
proutil -C codepage-compiler $DLC/prolang/convmap/convmap.dat
$DLC/convmap.cp:
If you do not put the new convmap.cp in the $DLC directory, you can point to this new file instead by using the -convmap startup parameter or by setting the PROCONV environment variable. This is useful for testing a modified convmap.cp,
before you install on a deployed system.
If you want to list the code pages and collations that are available in the current convmap.cp, you can use the procedure:
$DLC/prolang/list-cp.p.
If you want to list the supported code page conversions that are available in the current convmap.cp, you can use the procedure:
$DLC/prolang/listconv.p.
The following tables are output from these procedures.
Codepage Tables available in the convmap.dat file are:
- Case Tables.
For every code page, there is a table defining case rules (upper and lower case letter mappings) named BASIC. In addition, the following character sets provide case rules for French as used in France.
(In France, the uppercase of version of a letter does not have an accent. In French Canada, the uppercase letter retains its accent.)

- Conversion Tables.
The following is a list of every code page conversion provided in convmap.cp:
NOTE: BIG-5 to CP950, KSC5601 to CP949, and KSC5601 to CP1361, are one-way conversions.
SHIFT-JIS to EUCJIS and EUCJIS to SHIFT-JIS cannot be used between CPINTERNAL and CPSTREAM. These conversions are only for client-server-database conversions. Refer to the Progress Internationalization Guide for more information.
