OpenEdge contains the environment variables SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET and SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET_PROMSGS for SQL clients. You can use these variables to internationalize your applications. These environment variables determine the code page the client uses to display the following:
Database data from the server
PROMSGS from the server
Note: You should set SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET only if you want clients to use a code page that is different from the code page the client operating system uses. You should set SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET_PROMSGS only if you want run-time messages to use a code page that is different from either the code page the client operating system uses, or the code page set by SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET.
If you do not set either of these environment variables, then the SQL client code page will correspond to the language of the client operating system.
Database data from the server
