Definition

The Common Character Set can be regarded as an extension of the ASCII range specific to SPUMG. The Common Character Set is the set of all alphanumeric characters that use the same byte sequence in the installed character sets.

This option can be used to reduce the number of words in vocabulary. It works only in system which do not have a double byte code page installed.

Default value

SPUMG enters the following default value:

  • Systems which use double-byte code pages (e.g. 8000): "7-bit ASCII". The result is that all words are inserted into the vocabulary which contain at least one character outside the 7-bit ASCII range (U+0000-U+007F).
  • Systems which do not use double-byte codepages: "Intersection of active languages". All characters which have the same code point and Unicode scalar value in all active code pages are used for the Common Character Set. The result is that words are inserted into the vocabulary only if they contain at least one character outside the Common Character Set.

This option cannot be changed after the Consistency Check has been started.

Use

Example:

You have an MDMP system with code pages 1100 and 1401:

The German name "Müller" will be inserted into the vocabulary if the Common Character Set is set to "7-bit ASCII" because the name contains the German national character "ü". But it will not be inserted into the vocabulary if the Common Character Set is set to "Intersection of active languages" because the character "ü" has the same code point in code page 1100 and 1401. Therefore both code pages can be used to convert "Müller" to Unicode.
