Compile Dictionaries for Different Character Set

[Argyriou Andreas]

Come on, David. There are people on the planet that speak Greek (me for example) but I don't think anybody speaks Aramaic or Phoenician any more.

Now, to try to answer Pandurang's question, I guess whatever change necessary will have to be done in the SYSTEM OPTIONS statement of the pdl.
I found an old piece of code which was in production until 2001 in a Unix environment (DGUX). Here goes:

System Options                                        &
   ASCII8                                             &
   Application Security ID method UIC                 &
   ALLOW CENTURY                                      &
   INPUT CENTURY 19 FROM YEAR 80                      &
   Date Format DDMMMYY  Date Separator "/"            &
   Sysmonths "ΙΑΝΦΕΒΜΑΡΑΠΡΜΑΙΙUΝΙUΛΑΥΓΣΕΠΟΚΤΝΟΕΔΕΚ"   &
   Title "ΑΒΓ"

The Sysmonths string contains Greek characters, so does the Title string. I haven't used Powerhouse after 2002 so I don't remember much. What I remember, though, was that there was nothing really special to be done at the Powerhouse level in order to compile the dictionary. I remember that I have seen in some Powerhouse implementations another option used, involving a string of Ascii characters, but I don't remember what it was.

Anyway, Pandurang, please send me any questions and I will try to help.

What about ISO_ARAMAIC and ISO_PHOENICIAN?

Hello Team,

The dictionaries are compiled for different character set on the basis of ISO_LATIN.
For different ISO LATIN there are changes done in dictionaries for upshift ,downshift localization.

What changes will be required for using Greek character set , The ISO_LATIN_7 is being used for Greek character set.
What changes should be done in the dictionary for compiling the dictionary with iso_latin_7.

Thanks & Regards
Pandurang Rajpurohit,
