Caution: If an OpenEdge application has a tier (client, server, and so on) built earlier than Version 9.0B or 9.1A, you must alter the lead-byte table to include the lead-bytes of the Gaiji characters.
When you use user-defined characters, remember to:
Go into the Japanese.datCONVMAP file and, in the lead-byte attribute table, set the value of each byte in the range 240 through 252 to 1, to indicate a lead byte. You might only have to set some of them, depending on how many user-defined characters you want.
The Japanese.datCONVMAP file resides in the OpenEdge/prolang/convmap directory. For more information on CONVMAP files, see Understanding Character Processing Tables.
Start each database server with the -cpinternal startup parameter set to SHIFT-JIS.
Start each client with the -cpinternal startup parameter set to SHIFT-JIS.
Go into the Japanese.datCONVMAP file and, in the lead-byte attribute table, set the value of each byte in the range 240 through 252 to 1, to indicate a lead byte. You might only have to set some of them, depending on how many user-defined characters you want.
