Hi Harold:<BR>
<BR>
Etienne makes a good point.<BR>
<BR>
Your emulator probably allows<BR>
you set the host character set <BR>
and your PC character set.<BR>
<BR>
If this is something that has to be<BR>
down a lot, you users wll probably <BR>
want to set the PC keyboard to<BR>
English ( US -International ).<BR>
<BR>
This will allow the users to use<BR>
Microsoft compose keys to create<BR>
the extended characters instead<BR>
ol using the ALT plus number <BR>
method.<BR>
<BR>
See <A href="http://www.forlang.wsu.edu/help/keyboards1.asp"> http://www.forlang.wsu.edu/help/keyboards1.asp</A><BR>
<BR>
If the users are use to the French or<BR>
French Canadian they can use that keyboard.<BR>
<BR>
If their normal PC operations are done in<BR>
English then the English ( US -International )<BR>
keyboard is for them. WithFrench keyboards certain characters are at different locations.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Peter Bateman<BR>

<BR>Hi Harold:<BR> <BR> SET TERM/VT220 or higher.<BR> <BR> Can you see the French characters using<BR> RDB's SQL tool?<BR> <BR> If you can good! If not it is not PowerHouse.<BR> <BR> I am assuming that the character set in <BR> database is DEC supplemental. Which is very<BR> much like Windows 1252 except that <BR> characters whose decimal eqivalents are<BR> in the range 128-160 may not avaliable.<BR> In some cases they are considered control<BR> characters in the DEC world.<BR> <BR> The charcacter that people seem to miss<BR> the most is the euro at decimal 128 ( € ).<BR> <BR> <BR> The first thing you want to <BR> to do is set the character set to ASCII8 French<BR> in the dictionary.<BR> <BR> If the database character set is<BR> not DEC supplemental nor WINDOWS 1252<BR> then you will want to replace the character<BR> set and downshift and upshift tables in the <BR> dictornary.<BR> <BR> Then try a simple screen.<BR> <BR> ALT key 0233 is é.<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR>Peter Bateman<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><BR>> Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:05:23 -0400<BR>> Subject: Re: French language character set<BR>> From: erompre@koala-tech.com<BR>> To: Harold.A.Johnson@gov.bc.ca; powerh-l@lists.sowder.com<BR>> <BR>> Harold,<BR>> <BR>> Which terminal emulation soft are you using?<BR>> <BR>> I'm running Powerhouse on OpenVMS 7.3 and I have Reflection on PC and Mac<BR>> and I do not have any issues to display é à ê or other french caracters.<BR>> <BR>> Sometimes, the problem comes from the font file used to display the<BR>> caracters on screen.
