Most deployment applications will perform ASCII <-> EBCDIC translations of the supported country codes without further interaction;
however, translation of the DBCS supported code sets (namely, MFCODESETs 81, 82, 86, 886, and 941) for applications that do
not require a full Enterprise Server product to be available (for example, .NET Core applications, .NET COBOL applications, and native self-contained applications), you are required to deploy the appropriate mapping files with the application,
and then use an environment variable to locate them at run time.
-
Deploy the appropriate
.E2A and
.A2E mapping files along with the application.
The required files can be found in the
etc/codeset sub-directory of a full development or deployment product installation directory.
-
Set the MFCODESET_DBCSDIR environment variable to the location of these files.
-
Set the MFCODESET environment variable to the required code set for translation; see
The code set translation environment variable for details.
