UNIX Code Pages

In the United States, most UNIX operating systems have more than one code page installed and use the ASCII code page by default. If you want to run PowerCenter in an ASCII-only environment, you can use the ASCII code page and run the PowerCenter Integration Service in ASCII mode.
UNIX systems allow you to change the code page by changing the LANG, LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL environment variable. For example, you want to change the code page an AIX machine uses. Use the following command in the C shell to view your environment:
locale
This results in the following output, in which “C” implies “ASCII”:
LANG="C" LC_CTYPE="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL="C"
To change the language to English and require the system to use the Latin1 code page, you can use the following command:
setenv LANG en_US.iso88591
When you check the locale again, it has been changed to use Latin1 (ISO 8859-1):
LANG="en_US.iso88591" LC_CTYPE="en_US.iso88591" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.iso88591" LC_TIME="en_US.iso88591" LC_ALL="en_US.iso88591"
For more information about changing the locale or code page of a UNIX system, see the UNIX documentation.
