GOAL:
How to store English ASCII data and Japanese data in the same database.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
FIX:
There are two possible solutions:
1. Upgrade to version 9 and use a Unicode (UTF-8) database. Then connect all clients using their own local codepage.
2. Create a Japanese database with a Japanese codepage (e.g. SHIFT-JIS) and connect all clients (including western) with cpinternal and cpstream set to the same Japanese codepage. Western clients should then be able to enter English Ascii text, and Japanese clients both Japanese and English text. This is possible because most codepages contain the basic English Ascii character set.
The first option is the best choice because many more clients using other codepages can then connect and use the database.
