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

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.
