Streams and code-page conversion

The previous figure shows a stream. Streams can include the following application components:

Character terminals and emulators of character terminals

Table dump (.d) and data definition (.df) files

Files accessed by INPUT FROM or OUTPUT TO statements

Operating system files that an OpenEdge application reads or writes

LISTING, XREF, and PREPROCESS files produced by the compiler

As the figure in Code-pageconversion shows, to decide whether or not to convert the code page of data flowing between two application components, OpenEdge considers whether one of the application components is a stream.
