SUMMARY:
This solution provides a possible workaround for compilation errors that can occur with the Progress Native 4GL client after an upgrade of the Progress/400 DataServer to Version 9.1 from Version 9.0A or an earlier version.
EXPLANATION:
In versions prior to 9.1, Native 4GL code page conversions are handled by the AS/400. Starting with Version 9.1, code page conversions are implemented on the AS/400 by a convmap.cp file that resides in the AS/400 DataServer installation directory.
Currently, the convmap.cp file does not allow for all possible EBCDIC conversions. Consequently, if you have an AS/400 that uses the German/Austrian code page ibm273, you might encounter the following errors when you try to compile a native 4GL program:
Code page conversion table for IBM037 to ibm273 was
not found in convmap.cp. (6063)
You are using -cpinternal IBM037 and -cpstream ibm273.
(1535)
The table to convert -cpinternal to -cpstream was not
found in convmap.cp. (1546)
SOLUTION:
In order to resolve the problem, perform the following steps:
1) For recovery, save the current convmap.cp in the DataServer
installation directory.
2) Also save the convmap.dat and convmap.cp in the Windows
installation.
3) Create a new .dat file called EBCAS400.dat in the
prolang/convmap directory on the Windows installation, and add
the following conversion table and character attribute table:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
------
# This contains the data needed to convert from
# ibm037 to ibm273

ENDTABLE
ENDCONVERT
4) Add the EBCAS400.dat to the end of convmap.dat as:
# AS/400 EBCDIC conversions
INCLUDE
INCLUDE-FILE EBCAS400.dat
5) Recompile the convmap.dat file with PROUTIL, for example:
proutil -C codepage-compiler convmap.dat convmap.cp
6) When the convmap.cp file has compiled successfully, binary FTP
it to the AS/400 installation directory.
The native 4GL compilation should work now.
