Working with Character Sets

Use the System Table component - Interface System Table 1 page, Character Set field to select a character set for export or import processing.

See Setting Up the System Table.

The following table lists the character sets that Payroll Interface supports.

For example, suppose your headquarters is in the U.S., but you have an office in Japan where the payroll system uses Kanji. When Payroll Interface is run for the U.S., the Character Set field is set to ISO 8859–1, the Latin character set. When Payroll Interface is run for the Japanese site, theCharacter Set field must be set to JIS X 0208, the Kanji character set.
