Configuring Your System for Alternate Character Functionality

This topic explains how to set up alternate character functionality in PeopleSoft HCM.

To set up alternate character functionality in PeopleSoft HCM:

1. Link the alternate character sets with language codes on the Installation Table - Alternate Character page (ALT_CHAR_TBL).

   These settings affect your entire PeopleSoft HCM installation.

   Note:

   On this page, you define the alternate character set for the language that each user selects on the sign-on page.

2. Enable the alternate character functionality for specific user IDs on the Org Defaults by Permission Lst page (OPR_DEF_TBL_HR).

   When you enable alternate character functionality for a user, the system displays the alternate character button to the right of all the fields on the Global menus that have an associated Alternate Character field.

   When you click the Alternate Character button, the system opens a page where you enter or display the field value in the alternate character set.
