Supplied UES Encodings

The tables in this document list the encodings available with universal encoding support (UES) when executing Adabas utilities or issuing Adabas commands. Encodings represent single-byte character sets (Latin-1 or not) or double-/multiple-character sets. If encodings:

  • have a character set in common with other encodings so that conversion between them is accomplished without loss of data, they are "interoperable". Two encodings are said to be interoperable when all round-trip string conversions return the same string as the original or if they have the same the CS number and F/M/S size.

  • are not interoperable, they are "coexistent" with other encodings.

Columns used in the following tables are described as follows:

Key ADAECS key number in decimal and hexadecimal
CS character set as identified by IBM
CP code page usually identical to the "key". It is not identical when

  • CP does not fit into the ECS key number range 1-4095; or

  • the encoding is constructed from two or more code pages.

F/M/S Size F encoding uses all allocated graphical character space
M maximum for given ESID
S subset
ESID encoding scheme identifier with the following entries:
1100 EBCDIC fixed 1
1301 EBCDIC mixed DBCS modal
2100 IBM PC data fixed 1
2200 IBM PC data DBCS only
2300 IBM PC data mixed DBCS nonmodal
4100 ISO-8 fixed 1
4105 ISO-8 fixed 1 graphic characters in the range x'80'- x`9F' reserved for control codes
Fill the hexadecimal value representing the fill character used in the encoding.
Sub the hexadecimal value representing the substitution character used in the encoding.

Encoding categories are described in this document.
