Use the Code Page Setup dialog box to select a host language code page (*.cpg) file. The code page determines the character translations. SDI supplies code pages for many countries. The Code Page Setup dialog box contains the following fields:
| Drop-down list box | Select a code page from the code pages available in the working directory. |
| File name | File name of the currently selected code page. |
| Translation table | EBCDIC and ASCII representations for each character in the language code page. |
Select a code page from the drop-down list box, or enter the file name of a new code page in the File name edit box, or click the Browse button and select a new code page from the Select Code Page File dialog box.
The SDI-supplied code pages must never be modified. If you need to tailor a code page to meet your needs, make a copy of the SDI code page file that is closest to what you need. Modify your copy of the code page to fit your needs with a word processor. Save it with a unique name. You may now select your code page just as you would select one of the SDI-supplied code pages.
