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.
