Hi
Does anybody know how to change the character set for Locale ISO-8859-1? I know that there are files like tss-bw,
tss6.1,tss_c6.1 and tss_locale6.1 under $BSE/lib directory. I can find mapping for 00 to 7F but I also want to map from 7F to FF
to avoid some TSS character conversion errors. I would really appreciate if somebody can throw some light on this.

Thanks in advance

Have you looked at changing it at the Oracle level by altering the NLS characterset to WE8ISO8859P1.

I can get characters in the range 00 to FF directly from Oracle. But when BaaN tries to read it and print/display, it complaints that it cannot convert the character. As far as my understanding goes, whenever BaaN reads in or displays , it checks the character mapping defined in one of the tss6.1 files under $BSE/lib to find out the equivalent TSS character. I am not sure about how to edit these files.

Have a look in the bin directory. There are some utils called tss*

I remember having done something similar, I changed settings with something called like nlsedit. It doesn't seems to be available on nt (actually that was done on a hp machine).

It't not much but perhaps it does help a bit.
