DTLMSG_CODEPAGE Statement

The DTLMSG_CODEPAGE statement specifies the code page identifier that indicates which language version of the PowerExchange messages file to use.

If you specify DTLMSG_CODEPAGE=UTF8, you must also specify the DTLMSG_LANGUAGE statement to indicate the language.

To determine the name of the messages file, PowerExchange concatenates the following elements:

dtlmsg + [_code_page + [_language]]  + .txt

All

DTLMSG_LANGUAGE, LOG_CODEPAGE, CODEPAGE

DTLMSG_CODEPAGE=code_page

For the code_page variable, enter a code page identifier. Default is blank, which selects the UTF-8 English-language messages file, dtlmsg.txt.

To use the UTF-8 English-language version of the messages file, dtlmsg.txt, accept the default value by not defining the DTLMSG_CODEPAGE statement.

To use the localized Japanese messages file, define the following statement:

DTLMSG_CODEPAGE=SHIFT-JIS

PowerExchange uses the multibyte version of the messages file, dtlmsg_SHIFT-JIS.txt.

To use the localized Brazilian Portuguese messages file, define the following statements:

DTLMSG_CODEPAGE=UTF8
DTLMSG_LANGUAGE=PORTUGUESE-BZ

PowerExchange uses the UTF-8 Brazilian Portuguese version of the messages file, dtlmsg_UTF8_PORTUGUESE-BZ.txt.
