Converting code-page names between MIME and OpenEdge formats

You can convert a code-page name between MIME and OpenEdge formats by running the convcp.p procedure, which resides in the adecomm directory.

Here is the syntax:

Syntax

convcp.p(input-name, direction:U, OUTPUT output-name)

input-name

A CHARACTER expression indicating the code-page name to be converted.

direction

A CHARACTER indicating one of the following:

“toProg” (to convert from MIME to OpenEdge)
“toMime” (to convert from OpenEdge to MIME)

output-name

A CHARACTER expression indicating the name of a CHARACTER variable to contain the result.

If input-name is not a valid MIME or OpenEdge code-page name, output-name is set to blank.

The following example converts the value of cMimeCharset to OpenEdge format and stores the result in cProCharset:

RUN adecomm/convcp.p(cMimeCharset, “toProg”:U, OUTPUT cProCharset).

The following example converts the value of cProCharset to MIME format and stores the result in cMimeCharset:

RUN adecomm/convcp.p(cProCharset, “toMime”:U, OUTPUT cMimeCharset).
