OPEN DATASET - CODE PAGE
Syntax
... CODE PAGE cp ...
Effect
This addition specifies that the representation of character-like data objects in the file is based on the code page specified in cp. When a character-like data object is written or read, a conversion between this code page and the current character representation is performed, if necessary. If the addition is not specified, the data is read or written in a non-Unicode system without conversion. In a Unicode system, the characters of the file are treated in accordance with the non-Unicode code page that would be assigned at the time of read/write in a non-Unicode system (in accordance with the entry specified in the database table TCP0C of the current text environment).
The code page specification cp expects a character-like data object that
must contain, when the statement is executed, the name of a non-Unicode page from the column CPCODEPAGE in the database table TCP00. You must not specify a Unicode code page.
