 Topic: French Characters (example é)Posted: January 04 2006 at 8:26am |
|
When connected to an AIX or a Windows machine, I can get the French(preass and hold ALT then 130 on the numeric keypad for é) characters to display when in a Wyse emulaton but I cannot get them to display when in vt emulation. Can this be done?

Hi Brian -
Wyse and VT emulations have different code pages. Wyse uses the old IBM PC character set (OEM code page 437), and CHAR(130) is 'é' in this character set. VT emulations use the Windows ANSI code page (Latin-I code page 1252), and CHAR(233) is 'é' in this character set. AccuTerm automatically translates between the various code pages, but it assumes that the character set used by the host database matches the emulation you are running in AccuTerm: code page 437 for Wyse/ADDS emulations and code page 1252 for VT emulations. Thanks, Peter Schellenbach pjs@asent.com |

The host machine is running UniVerse on AIX.
Since the french characters are showing up for a wyse emulation, does that mean that the host database is code page 437? Can the host code page be changed? |

Hi Brian -
I think it would be difficult to change the host machine code page. Most likely, characters from code page 437 are actually stored in your data files, so changing code pages would involve converting all your data files to the new code page. AccuTerm's Linux Console emulation is very similar to VT220, and has the ability to use code page 437:
You might try using Linux Console instead of VTxxx, and when you log in, have your login paragraph run a program to print this command to the terminal to switch it to code page 437. Thanks, Pete |
