Re: [U2] [UV] and the Hebrew character set
hi jacques, I'll add some elements.Here in Luxemburg, we use french german languages then I have some experience with extended characters. To store the extended chars, if you choose codepage OEM862 or Windows-1255 , you work on single byte coding the both don't re-define chars 252,253,254 then no-prob with sv'ed, mv'ed data. Regarding sortorder, yes, use Right justification. For display, your client must works with a compatible codepage font and communication must be set to 8 bits. For printing, your printers must known the codepage font. If you choose unicode, you must turn Universe/NLS on. At basic runtime, UV works as unicode multi-byte (reread your basic code regarding chars manipulations) then be carefull to understand there is only one language declaration per file/device - when possible use unicode. Problems start when you need display hebrew, french or russian chars on the same screen and a non-unicode client ! my two pence Manu Jacques G. jacque...@yahoo.com a écrit : Hello, Has anyone here ever used Universe with a Hebrew character set ? Is it neccessary to to with a full 16-bit Unicode character set or are there older 8-bit character sets that are useable ? Also since text is apparently read from right to left (like in arabic) how are sorts affected ? (Must dictionnary elements be changed from left justified to right justified ?)

Re: [U2] [UV] and the Hebrew character set
hum, Regarding sortorder, yes you can use Right justification if the byte value of chars into codepage are ordered like the hebrew alphabet elsewhere you need to build a re-ordered string via subr!! Like in french the chars éèêàâ are converted to eeea in a subr to make a correct sortorder. simple SUBROUTINE FLAT;FRENCH(RESULT,STRING) RESULT = STRING CONVERT CHAR(130):CHAR(136):CHAR(138) TO EEE IN RESULT RETURN Manu Jacques G. jacque...@yahoo.com a écrit : Hello, Has anyone here ever used Universe with a Hebrew character set ?
