Explanation of the Following Tables
The Encoding Parameter column lists the values that you can specify in the ENCODING parameter in the pssqr.ini/unx file.
ENCODING-REPORT-OUTPUT applies to all output types.
In the Output Supported column of the following tables, note the following:
| Field or Control | Description |
|---|---|
|
PCL |
PCL denotes PCL printing format. Values in parentheses next to PCL, for example PCL (8V), are symbol sets. If PCL is not listed for an encoding parameter, the encoding is not supported output. Additional hardware support (font ROM) may be required to get correct output. |
|
PS |
PS denotes a PostScript printer. |
|
CSV |
CSV denotes comma-separated value format. CSV (*) means output is supported but Microsoft Excel may not read the output correctly. To read the output in Microsoft Excel, use a supported encoding other than those indicated with an asterisk (*). |
|
Flat file |
Flat file denotes that the output is generated by the WRITE command or that the text encoding is readable with the READ command. |
SPF, HTML, Enhanced HTML, and PDF can output all the supported languages and encodings. For SPF, HTML, and Enhanced HTML, SQR uses UTF-8 encoding (Unicode), even if ENCODING and ENCODING-REPORT-OUTPUT is set to non-Unicode encoding in the pssqr.ini/unx file. For PDF, character support is dependent on the fonts listed in the [PDF Fonts] section of the pssqr.ini/unx file.
Data processing of Arabic/Hebrew and other languages normally written in right-to-left order is supported, but SQR for PeopleSoft does not generate reports in right-to-left page order.
Supplementary characters, such as Hong Kong characters in GB18030, are not supported in SQR PDF output.These characters are supported in HTML output. Using BI Publisher instead of SQR is recommended for supplementary character support in PDF files,or for Arabic and Hebrew support.
