Collation table (-cpcoll)

A collation table in the convmap.cp file that you use for collation rules.

The collation table you specify is used with the code page OpenEdge uses in memory, which is specified by the Internal Code Page (-cpinternal) parameter.

The default value is BASIC.

Case table name (-cpcase)

A case table in the convmap.cp file that you use for case rules.

Case rules are used by the 4GL CAPS and LC functions and by the exclamation point ( ! ) formatting character, which you use to tell OpenEdge to convert all characters to uppercase during input. The case table you specify is used to establish case rules for the code page used in OpenEdge's memory. The memory code page is set with the Internal Code Page (-cpinternal) parameter.

The default value is BASIC.

Conversion map (-convmap)

The conversion map file that OpenEdge uses for code page conversions, collation orders, and case conversions.

By default, OpenEdge uses OpenEdge-install-dir\convmap.cp in Windows and OpenEdge-install-dir/convmap.cp on UNIX.

Server code page (-cpinternal)

The code page that OpenEdge uses in memory.

For GUI clients, the -cpinternal code page should be the same code page the operating system uses.

If you do not specify a value, OpenEdge uses the iso8859-1 code page by default.

Log code page (-cplog)

The code page that the database uses when it writes to a log file. By default, the database uses the internal code page.

Choose a code page that agrees with your operating system and its devices. If you have a Unicode database, you might want to specify the log character set as Unicode so information is properly logged.

If you do not specify a value, OpenEdge uses the iso8859-1 code page by default.
