IBM DBCS Code Pages

Transaction Integrator (TI) recognizes the following code pages as IBM double-byte character set (DBCS) code pages:

Code page	Description
930	IBM Extend Katakana and IBM Japanese (for Japan)
931	IBM English lower case and IBM Japanese (for Japan)
933	IBM Hungle Extend single-byte and IBM Hungle (for Korea)
935	IBM English single-byte and IBM simplified Chinese (for PRC)
937	IBM English single-byte and IBM traditional Chinese
939	IBM English Extend lower case and IBM Japanese (for Japan)

All other code pages delivered with Host Integration Server are handled as Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) code pages, which use a single byte to represent a character.

When the TI run-time environment converts UNICODE characters to DBCS characters, it uses standard Microsoft Windows NLS code pages.

The following table lists the DBCS code pages and their corresponding NLS code pages.

DBCS code page	NLS code page required by TI
930	932 ANSI Japan
931	932 ANSI Japan
933	949 ANSI Korean
935	936 ANSI Chinese (China, Singapore)
937	950 ANSI Chinese
939	932 ANSI Japan

The list of code pages on the Locale property page for a remote environment includes a DBCS code page only if the corresponding NLS code page is loaded on the computer. The following code pages have been added for European support.

Code page	IBM or open systems name	Display name
923	ISO 8859-15 Latin 9 (Euro)	Latin-9 (Euro)
924	IBM Latin - 1/Open System	Latin-1 Open System (Euro)
858	OEM - Multilingual Latin 1 (Euro)	OEM - Multilingual Latin 1 (Euro)
1140	IBM EBCDIC - U.S./Canada (Euro)	U.S./Canada (Euro)
1141	IBM EBCDIC - Germany (Euro)	Germany (Euro)
