Description
|
|
|
Check double-byte enabled
|
Causes OpenEdge to report a compile-time error whenever it finds a LENGTH function, SUBSTRING function, or OVERLAY statement that does not use the CHARACTER, COLUMN, FIXED or RAW option.
Use -checkdbe when you modify an OpenEdge application to support double-byte or Unicode characters.
|
|
|
Conversion map
|
Specifies the conversion map file to use for code-page conversions, collation orders, and case conversions.
The default conversion map file is DLC/convmap.cp.
|
|
|
Case table
|
Specifies a case table in the convmap.cp file to use for case conversions.
The default is BASIC.
OpenEdge performs case conversions when you use the CAPS and LC functions, and when you use “!” in a character-field format string, which tells OpenEdge to convert all characters in the string to uppercase during input.
|
|
|
Collation table
|
Specifies a collation table in the convmap.cp file, or a collation in the International Components for Unicode (ICU) library, to use for sorting.
The default is BASIC.
|
|
|
Internal code page
|
Specifies the code page OpenEdge uses in memory and for graphical clients.
The default is the ISO8859-1 code page.
|
|
|
Log file code page
|
Specifies the code page OpenEdge uses when it writes to a log file.
The default is the code page specified by -cpstream.
|
|
|
Print code page
|
Specifies the code page OpenEdge uses when it prints to a printer.
The default is the code page specified by -cpstream.
|
|
|
R-code in code page
|
Specifies the code page OpenEdge uses when it reads r-code text segments.
The default is the code page described in the r-code.
|
|
|
R-code out code page

Specifies the code page OpenEdge uses when it writes r-code text segments.
The default is the code page specified by -cpinternal.

Specifies the code page for output to a character terminal.
The default is the code page specified by -cpstream.
|

Date format
|
Specifies the date format; that is, the order in which the day, month, and year appear. Specify the format as a three-character string, comprising the letters d (day), m (month), and y (year), in the preferred order.
The default is “mdy”.
The -d startup parameter corresponds to the DATE-FORMAT attribute of the SESSION system handle.
|
|
|
European numeric format
|
Specifies that the decimal separator is a comma and that the thousands separator is a period, for numeric values, for input and output.
By default, the decimal separator is a period and the thousands separator is a comma.
The -E startup parameter corresponds to the NUMERIC-FORMAT attribute of the SESSION system handle.
|
|
|
Initial value segment no convert
|
Disables a code-page conversion that was not provided in earlier versions of OpenEdge.
|
|
|
Language
|
Specifies the initial value for the CURRENT-LANGUAGE function, which determines the r-code segment from which OpenEdge reads character-string constants.
Specify the language as a quoted character string. Use the quoted character strings defined when Translation Manager was run.
