Report 5. PowerExchange Code Page Names and Aliases

This report displays the PowerExchange number associated with a code page. The report is arranged in ascending order by alias name.

PowerExchange uses aliases in the following situations:

For DB2, PowerExchange adds the prefix “cp” in front of CCSID numbers to form aliases that are used to find the code pages. For example, a DB2 CCSID of 300 is changed to an alias of “cp300” before PowerExchange looks up the aliases to find PowerExchange CPN 252.

You can specify the PowerExchange CODEPAGE configuration parameter with aliases, such as:

CODEPAGE=(IBM-37,CP930,CP930)

When using aliases in these situations, the “cp” format of alias or the PowerCenter name is recommended.

EBCDIC code pages are less common than ASCII. EBCDIC code pages usually have the literal “EBCDIC” in the alias. The following example shows aliases of Denmark EBCDIC Denmark code pages:

191 EBCDIC-CP-DK
191 ebcdic-dk                      
225 ebcdic-dk-277+euro

Do not define the same alias on multiple code pages. Only the code page with the lower CPN number is used.

You can use the ICUALIAS parameter to change the alias definitions.

The following sample report shows PowerExchange code page names and aliases.
