Supported Country Codes

Visual COBOL has built-in support for the following character sets. The country code numbering convention used for single-byte character sets is that defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The CCSID (Coded Character Set ID) column shows the code page/encoding combination that is used.

Support is provided for the following character set conversions, except where indicated:
