Character Set

Enter the character set to be used as the system locale. This setting is used to convert text to and from UNICODE when using interfaces that do not support UNICODE. Such interfaces include file names, text file contents, and other operating system calls that require non-UNICODE text. This setting controls how files used by the PeopleTools file attachment feature are named.

The default values are:

Operating System	Value
UNIX	latin1
z/OS	ccsid1047
Windows	CP_ACP

Note:

By default, the parameter is commented out. With no value specified, invalid values, or blank value (" "), the system assumes the above default values as the character set.

To override the default, remove the comment character for the Character Set parameter, and select a character set from the following list corresponding to the languages that this application server will process. For example, to set the character set for Simplified Chinese:

Character Set=gb2312

Note:

The character set of the application server and the character set of any Microsoft Windows workstations connecting to that application server must match.

The utf8 option is valid only when the locale character set is UTF-8.
