Note: To complete this task, you must have administrator privileges to the
Visual COBOL installation directory.
- If a
ccsid directory does not already exist in the following location, create one:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\etc\ (Windows) or
$COBDIR/etc/ (UNIX).
- In a Web browser, download the IBM CCSID tables file from
cdctables.zip and extract it to the
ccsid directory.
- Use the
tabindex.txt file (located in the
intro.zip file) to identify the package number and filename for each CCSID 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 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 step
3.
Example
To install a CCSID 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 (Windows) or
package4.zip/011C01B5 (UNIX) to the
011C01B5 sub-directory.
