Environment


Use this tab to specify the environment for this client program.

Codepage
The codepage this client application is using. CASP uses this field to determine whether or not to convert messages being sent to this client to UTF-8. If the codepage on the sending or receiving business element is omitted, and the target application is running version 3.x of this product, CASP does not convert the message. In this case, CASP sends the message using the codepage configured for the sending application.

CASP converts the message if all of the following conditions are met:

  1. The message is defined as text via the Message Types String button on the Message Descriptor Options tab.

  2. The receiver is defined as using Version 3.x of this product.

  3. The sender and receiver have codepages defined in the directory, and these codepages are not the same.

Note: When you specify the codepage in the directory, CASP assumes that all applications using this client must use the same codepage. (For example you could not run this client under both OS/390 (EBCDIC) and UNIX (ASCII). You may want to define the majority of client fields via a client profile record, and customize the environment settings for each client after importing the values from the client profile. Refer to the online help for the Propagate tab, for more information.)
