Documentation
Definition
The Global Fallback Code Page (GFBCP) is used by R3load for the conversion of data records whenever there is a problem in determining the correct code page for these records.
Default value
Its default value depends on the system type:
- Single Code Page System: system code page (retrieved from TCPDB)
- MDMP System: one of the system code pages (retrieved from TCPDB)
- Ambiguous Blended Code Page System:
for system code pages 6100 and 6500: GFBCP = 1100
for system code page 6200: GFBCP = 8000
This option cannot be changed after the Consistency Check has been started.
Use
The GFBCP is a global setting for all tables. It is taken over in the Export Control Table during the Consistency Check but you can edit the GFBCP later for each table. The GFBCP must be round-trip compatible. If you enter a new value, a check for round-trip compatiblity is executed automatically. Ambiguous blended code pages (6100, 6200, 6500) must not be used as GFBCP. In general the GFBCP should correspond to the language you use most in your system.
For systems that use code page 1100 as system code page you may change the default setting to code page 1160 as described in chapter Initialize/Edit Language Lists in the Unicode Conversion Guide.
For MDMP conversions, the most common problems for the usage of the GFBCP are:
- a word in the vocabulary has no language assigned
- a data record contains words from different code pages
- a data record contains words which were not inserted into the vocabulary yet
Valid only for single code page systems:
The GFBCP is used as Character Set for all Entries in the Export Control Table, that is the conversion of the complete database is done with the GFBCP.
