Documentation

Definition

Function selection for the case where a code page converter encounters a code page pair, for which no conversion, or just a simplified conversion is required.

This function selection defines right from the start, what the converter must do if such a situation occurs. The following values are possible:

' '

The conversion is performed as simply and quickly as possible. ('no')

'X'

The system tries, above all, to perform a 'proper' conversion. Here, any illegal byte sequences are also found. ('yes')

Use

Dependencies

Example

For the conversion between UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE (4102, 4103), a byte swapper is usually used. If a 'proper' conversion is enforced, it may become visible that x'FFFF' is an invalid byte sequence.

Test program RSCP0032 is available to you.
