<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario: A single server supporting English, Japanese, and German</h1>
<div><p>In this scenario, there is a single server supporting English,
Japanese, and German users and applications.</p>
<p>The primary language of the system is English (NLV
2924). The system has also been loaded with secondary languages of Japanese
(NLV 2962) and German (2929). Because 2924 is the primary language, the default
system settings and i5/OS™ localization preference is set to English. Because
these three NLVs are installed, each user can work with the system in English,
German, or Japanese.</p>
<p>The users see their language of choice and i5/OS localization
preference from the initial sign-on screen by the use of a subsystem description
for each secondary language.</p>
<p>The user has also created a database file in which the fields of interest
are defined to contain Unicode. Because Unicode provides a unique number for
every character on any platform, in any program,and in any language, one field
can contain English, German, and Japanese.</p>
<p>The following example shows the SQL statement used to create a database
containing a Unicode field named "PART_NAME" and a non-Unicode field named
"STOCK_NUMBER":</p>
<pre>CREATE TABLE SAMPLE (PART_NAME GRAPHIC (10) CCSID 1200
NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, STOCK_NUMBER INT NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT 0)</pre>
<p>If the user wants to display this data with a web service or Unicode enabled
application, then Unicode is the natural encoding for web use and no conversion
is needed. To get the correct localization and interface preference for the Java™ application,
the user needs to set the Java locale to the correct value: <samp class="codeph">en_US</samp> for
English, <samp class="codeph">Jp_JA</samp> for Japanese, and <samp class="codeph">de_DE</samp> for
German.</p>
<p>If the user wants to display this data with a 5250 session, then the Unicode
field must be converted to the CCSID of the display device. The user only
has to set the user profile's CCSID value to the correct value (37 for English,
1399 for Japanese, and 278 for German) to tell the system what the user's
preference is for the display. This service is provided automatically by the
system if requested with the CCSID keyword and the *CONVERT parameter in DDS.</p>
<p>To print the Unicode data, the user specifies the *NOCONVERT parameter
of the CCSID keyword, and a TrueType font using the FONTNAME keyword. The
unconverted Unicode data can be printed with PSF/400 or with Host Print Transform.</p>
<p>The following figure illustrates this scenario.</p>
