Use OEM code page

The useoemcp parameter specifies if the CICS Transaction Gateway uses the Windows operating system OEM code page function or the Windows operating system ACP function to retrieve the code page identifier for data flowed over TCP/IP or SNA server connections.

useoemcp=<Y|N>
Description
Set the value to Y to make CICS Transaction Gateway use the Windows operating system OEM function to retrieve the code page identifier, for example 850. If the workstation is euro-enabled, code page 850 is mapped to 858 by CICS Transaction Gateway making the euro symbol available for use by the CICS Server. If USEOEMCP is set to N, CICS Transaction Gateway uses the Windows operating system ACP function to get the ASCII identifier, for example 1252. The ASCII identifier can be used to provide the appropriate conversions for Latin-1, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese systems. If the workstation is euro enabled, code page 1252 is mapped to code page 5348. For more information on code pages and data conversion, see Data conversion

This parameter is in the CLIENT section of the configuration file.

Default value
The default for this parameter is Y.
Configuration Tool
In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of useoemcp to Y by selecting the Use OEM code page check box on the Resourses tab in the Client daemon configuration page.
