<h1 class="topictitle1">Handle data in globalized applications</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>There are ways in which the operating system enables you to handle
|
||
|
|
data in a globalized environment. These topics describe Unicode and Unicode
|
||
|
|
data, the Chinese standard GB18030, how to use CCSIDs to integrate multiple
|
||
|
|
language environments consistently, and how to use bidirectional data, DBCS
|
||
|
|
data, and locales.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>One of the most critical challenges you might encounter
|
||
|
|
as you work with globalized servers and applications is the effective interaction
|
||
|
|
with data. The operating system provides a wide range of options that you
|
||
|
|
can use to ensure that data is viewed and processed seamlessly
|
||
|
|
across national languages. </p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsunicodeucs2.htm">Work with Unicode</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
<dfn class="term">Unicode</dfn> is a standard that precisely defines a character
|
||
|
|
set as well as a small number of encodings for it. It enables you to handle
|
||
|
|
text in any language efficiently. It allows a single application to work for
|
||
|
|
a global audience.</li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbags18030.htm">GB18030: The Chinese standard</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
GB 18030-2000 is a Chinese standard that specifies an extended code page for use in the Chinese market.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagscdra.htm">Work with CCSIDs</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Using the server implementation of CDRA, you can achieve consistent
|
||
|
|
representation, processing, and interchange of coded characters (data) on i5/OS™ and
|
||
|
|
across IBM<sup>®</sup> systems.
|
||
|
|
The primary implementation of CDRA on i5/OS™ is through coded character set identifier
|
||
|
|
(CCSID) support.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsbidi.htm">Work with bidirectional data</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Arabic and Hebrew languages use an alphabet written and read from right to left. Numerics and Latin text imbedded in the right-to-left text are written and read from left to right; therefore, these languages are called bidirectional languages.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsenadbcs.htm">Work with DBCS data</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A DBCS file is a file that contains double-byte data or is used to process double-byte data. Other files are called alphanumeric files. You can view DBCS files on display, printer, tape, diskette, and ICF devices.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslocale.htm">Work with locales</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Locales are used primarily in ILE-based application programs. Additionally, the Retrieve Locale Information (OPM, QLGRTVLC; ILE, QlgRetrieveLocaleInformation) API retrieves one or all categories of a locale.</li>
