<h1 class="topictitle1">Unicode on i5/OS</h1>
|
|
<div><p> i5/OS™ provides
|
|
support for Unicode.</p>
|
|
<p>Unicode cannot be specified as a value for:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>The system CCSID</li>
|
|
<li>A user profile CCSID</li>
|
|
<li>A job CCSID</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>i5/OS provides external support for Unicode in the
|
|
following parts of the system (see the following note):</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Database files and functions</li>
|
|
<li>DB2
|
|
Universal Database™ (UDB) for iSeries™</li>
|
|
<li>SQL tables</li>
|
|
<li>Query files and tools</li>
|
|
<li>DDS</li>
|
|
<li>Display file and panel groups</li>
|
|
<li>Unicode variables in UIM</li>
|
|
<li>ILE high-level languages such as RPG</li>
|
|
<li>Message handling and message catalogs</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Several other i5/OS functions use Unicode internally
|
|
so that character data integrity is maintained for users across multilingual
|
|
platforms.</p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> These topics do not give detailed information about
|
|
application development as it relates to the implementation of Unicode. Rather,
|
|
they provide highlights of i5/OS support for Unicode. Where possible, reference
|
|
to a book that provides detailed information for UCS-2 implementation is given.
|
|
You should have available and understand the information in the Unicode standard.</div>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsucs2dbfileconsid.htm">Database files and functions</a></strong><br />
|
|
When you create Unicode database applications, you need to consider the implications for creating physical files, creating logical files, and for database input/output.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsucs2db2udbconsid.htm">DB2 Universal Database for iSeries</a></strong><br />
|
|
Keep this information in mind when using DB2 Universal Database™ (UDB)
|
|
for iSeries applications.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsucssqlconsid.htm">SQL tables</a></strong><br />
|
|
SQL supports tables that contain Unicode graphic columns by specifying a Unicode CCSID for the GRAPHIC and VARGRAPHIC data types.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsucsopnqryfilecon.htm">Query files and tools</a></strong><br />
|
|
Here are some considerations for open query files and interactive query tools.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsucs2ddsconsid.htm">Data description specifications</a></strong><br />
|
|
In data description specifications (DDS), you use the CCSID file-, record-, or field-level keyword to specify that a G-type field supports Unicode data instead of DBCS-graphical data.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsucsdspandpnlgrpcon.htm">Display files and panel groups</a></strong><br />
|
|
Unicode data is not supported on display devices that currently support the 5250 data stream. Therefore, conversions between the Unicode data and EBCDIC are necessary during input and output operations.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsucs2varinuim.htm">Unicode variables in user interface manager</a></strong><br />
|
|
This example shows how to define a Unicode variable in user interface manager (UIM).</li>
