I18N. Why when I import a text file to Progress I am not able to see all the characters that were in the text file?
-cpstream Startup Parameter
Characters missing after importing a file to Progress
CAUSE:
If you are running Progress in a specific locale, (i.e. Spanish9) and you try to import data from a file which has been generated in a different Locale than the one the DB is Running.
In example:
DB Code Page is Spanish9.
File to import was generated in Code Page 1252
The problem is that some characters (in example letters with accents), are lost.
FIX:
Use the -cpstream Startup Parameter equal to the Locale Code Page the file was generated.
In Example: if the text file was generated under Windows Platforms for US, Western Europe, the Locale Code Page will be 1252.
Then use as Startup Parameter with -cpinternal 1252.
