<div><p>To enable your application for a multilingual environment, consider
the information in this topic.</p>
<ul><li>Avoid coding CCSID values directly in your DDS for physical files. When
creating different physical files for different languages, change the CCSID
for your job (using the CHGJOB command). Only one set of DDS source code needs
to be maintained. <p>Conversions between all CCSIDs might not make sense in
all cases. For example, if you access a Greek database with a CCSID of 00875
from a German display station with a job CCSID of 00273, you see garbled data
on your display.</p>
<p>Countries outside the Latin-1 character set use character
sets that include non-Latin characters. No meaningful conversion is possible
between the non-Latin code points and the Latin code points. Arabic, Greek,
Hebrew, and Turkish are SBCS languages with non-Latin characters.</p>
</li>
<li>When database sharing takes place, define your files with the CCSID of
the primary language being used. Make sure that all users have
the CCSID of the language that they use defined in their user profile.</li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagssendnetfileuse.htm">Use of the Send Network File command</a></strong><br />
When you use the Send Network File (SNDNETF) command, the data (if sending a member only) is assumed to be in the CCSID of the job that is running the command. Therefore, no conversion takes place. When the data is received, care must be taken to store the member in a file with the same CCSID as the originating file.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsmultiling1sysscen.htm">Scenario: Multilingual single system</a></strong><br />
The figure in this topic shows a multilingual single system with German as the primary language and English and French as secondary languages. All users enter data into the same database file.</li>
