As data flows between application components that have different code pages, OpenEdge sometimes converts the data from the code page of the source component to the code page of the destination component. This is illustrated in the following figure.
To convert data from one code page to another, OpenEdge uses a code-page conversion table. OpenEdge supplies a collection of code-page conversion tables in the
OpenEdge/prolang directory. You can also create your own code-page conversion tables. For more information on code-page conversion tables, see
Understanding Character Processing Tables. For more information on code-page conversion and databases, see
Using Databases. For more information on code-page conversion and SQL, see
Using SQL.
Convert the code page no matter which direction the data is flowing in
