French language character set

[Peter Bateman]

Hi Harold:
 
    SET TERM/VT220 or higher.
 
    Can you see the French characters using
    RDB's SQL tool?
 
    If you can good! If not it is not PowerHouse.
   
    I am assuming that the character set in 
    database is DEC supplemental. Which is very
    much like Windows 1252 except that 
    characters whose decimal eqivalents are
    in the range 128-160 may not avaliable.
    In some cases they are considered control
    characters in the DEC world.
   
    The charcacter that people seem to miss
    the most is the euro at decimal 128 ( € ).
 
 
    The first thing you  want to 
    to do is set the character set to ASCII8 French
    in the dictionary.
 
    If the database character set is
    not DEC supplemental nor WINDOWS 1252
    then you will want to replace the character
    set and downshift and upshift tables in the 
    dictornary.
  
    Then try a simple screen.
  
    ALT key 0233 is é.
 
Regards,
Peter Bateman
