The working encoding is the code page for the data in memory and the code page for the data that appears in the user interface and work files. You must select a working encoding that is compatible with the encoding of the schemas that you reference in the Data Processor transformation.

The following table shows the working encoding settings:

Setting	Description
Use the Data Processor Default Code Page	Uses the default encoding from the Data Processor transformation.
Other	Select the encoding from the list.
XML Special Characters Encoding	Determines the representation of XML special characters. You can select None or XML. None. Leave as &amp; &lt; &gt; &quot; &apos; Entity references for XML special characters are interpreted as text. For example, the character > appears as &gt; Default is none. XML . Convert to & < > " ' Entity references for XML special characters are interpreted as regular characters. For example, &gt; appears as the following character: >

The input encoding determines how character data is encoded in input documents. You can configure the encoding for additional input ports in a Script.

The following table describes the encoding settings in the

Input

area:

Setting	Description
Use Encoding Specified in Input Document	Use the codepage that the source document defines, such as the encoding attribute of an XML document. If the source document does not have an encoding specification, the Data Processor transfomation uses the encoding settings from the Settings view.
Use Working Encoding	Use the same encoding as the working encoding.
Other	Select the input encoding from a drop-down list.
XML Special Characters Encoding	Determines the representation of XML special characters. You can select None or XML. None. Leave as &amp; &lt; &gt; &quot; &apos; Entity references for XML special characters are interpreted as text, for example, the character > appears as &gt; Default in None. XML . Convert to & < > " ' Entity references for XML special characters are interpreted as regular characters. For example, &gt; appears as the following character: >
Byte Order	Describes how multi-byte characters appear in the input document. You can select the following options: Little-endian. The least significant byte appears first. Default. Big-endian. The most significant byte appears first. No binary conversion.

The output encoding determines how character data is encoded in the main output document.

The following table describes the encoding settings in the

Output

area:

Setting	Description
Use Working Encoding	The output encoding is the same as the working encoding.
Other	The user selects the output encoding from the list.
XML Special Characters Encoding	Determines the representation of XML special characters. You can select None or XML. None. Leave as &amp; &lt; &gt; &quot; &apos; Entity references for XML special characters are interpreted as text, for example, the character > appears as &gt; Default. XML . Convert to & < > " ' Entity references for XML special characters are interpreted as regular characters. For example, &gt; appears as the following character: >
Same as Input Encoding	The output encoding is the same as the input encoding.
Byte order	Describes how multi-byte characters appear in the input document. You can select the following options: Little-endian. The least significant byte appears first. Default. Big-endian. The most significant byte appears first. No binary conversion.
