Use these instructions when installing a translation table into a development environment. For details on installing a translation
table for a deployed application, see
To install a CCSID translation table for deployed applications.
Prerequisites:
- During
Enterprise Developer installation, the IBM-37, IBM-437, and 002501B5 tables are installed in
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\etc\ccsid. If you require other translation tables, download the full package of IBM CCSID translation tables file from
cdctables.zip and extract it to the
ccsid directory.
- To complete this task, you must have administrator privileges to the
Enterprise Developer installation directory.
- If you require a table other than one of the pre-installed ones:
- Use the
tabindex.txt file (located in the
intro.zip file of the extracted package) to identify the package number and filename for each CCSID translation table you need to install.
- Within the
ccsid directory, create a sub-directory for each table you want to install, using the name of the CCSID translation table filename,
specified in the
tabindex.txt file, as the directory name.
- For each CCSID that you want to install, open its corresponding
Packagen.zip file (as specified in
tabindex.txt) and extract the files from the appropriate CCSID
.zip file to the corresponding directory you created in the previous step.
- Set the MFCODESET environment variable to the required code set for translation; see
The code set translation environment variable for details.
Example
To install a CCSID translation table to convert Spanish to USA English, create a sub-directory under
ccsid named
011C01B5, and then extract the contents of
package4.zip\011C01B5.zip to the
011C01B5 sub-directory.
