The PSSQR.INI and PSSQR.UNX Files

Most of the parameters that affect globalization of SQR for PeopleSoft are set in the configuration file. The PeopleSoft system delivers default configuration files, which are located in the PS_HOME\sqr directory. The files are named pssqr.ini on Microsoft Windows, and pssqr.unx on Unix/Linux. Because different configurations are needed for some of the supported languages, PeopleSoft delivers eight configuration files on each platform. These language-specific configuration files are named pssqrlanguage_code.ini or pssqrlanguage_code.unx. When the SQR process is started from PeopleSoft Process Scheduler, one of these configuration files is selected based on the user's language preference set in the My Personalization page. When language-specific files are not found, PeopleSoft Process Scheduler selects pssqr.ini/unx without language_code.

By default, these configuration files are assigned a character set and font that are correct for each language. However, it is also possible to customize the files to better suit your integration needs and report requirements. The following sections describe the details of configurations you can specify in the pssqr.ini/unx files.

Note:

On DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS initialization files, PSSQRLANGUAGECDINI and PSSQRINI are provided as members of the SQRSRC dataset on TSO. PeopleSoft Process Scheduler selects a language-specific initialization file if it exists in the SQRSRC dataset by replacing the %SQRINI% meta-string on shell JCT at process runtime. Because of the limitation in PeopleSoft Process Scheduler running on z/OS, it is not possible to use a different character set on language-specific INI files on z/OS. The language-specific configuration files are provided to make different font configurations for some languages. If you need to process multiple character sets for a single database using PeopleSoft Process Scheduler on z/OS, you must set up multiple PeopleSoft Process Schedulers.
