Features

Selection
There are three selections as follows:

  • CHARACTERSET

  • This is the name of the code page which needs to be tested. This fieldis related to the "LOCALE" field
    selection (see below). This means that once you select a charactersetname from the drop down menu,
    the entries in the "LOCALE" field are also calculated again. All thelocale entries which are in the drop down
    menu of the "LOCALE" field are always proper ones against the selectedcharacterset name. This event can
    happen by pressing return key or "Sync." button on the screen afterreselecting a characterset name.
    • LOG and ERROR MODES

    • There are two modes:
      No log file + Errors
      Only error messages will be created, when this program detectssomething. Normally, this mode
      should be selected.
      Log file + Errors
      Not only error messages, but also log files will be created. If you seesome errors with
      "No log file + Errors", you should try to test the locale with thismode. Perhaps you will be able to
      understand the exact meaning of each error message more in detail.
      • LOCALE

      • This is the name of the locale which needs to be tested. All theentries in the drop down menu are always
        only the locales which are the same chracterset. If a locale whichbelongs to a different character set, the
        proper characterset name for the locale needs to be set in the"CHARACTERSET" field (see above), first.

        Activities
        In most cases, all the detected errors will be removed by(re-)installing the locale. If it does not help, please create a
        customer message, and set the component with "BC-ABA-NL".
