Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Internationalizing Applications

> ## Sockets and code-page conversion

> If two applications using different code pages communicate using sockets (one of the external programming interfaces OpenEdge provides), code-page conversion must be performed by the application. It is not performed automatically by the sockets layer. Specifically, it is not performed by socket’s `WRITE()` method or `READ()` method.

> To perform the code-page conversion, use the 4GL `CODEPAGE-CONVERT` function either before invoking the 4GL `PUT-STRING` function or after invoking the 4GL `GET-STRING` function. For more information on using sockets in OpenEdge applications, see OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Handbook .
