MQ / FTP / ..etc - does DFSORT support UTFx sorting ? - PSF printing ,how to have the user report display correctly as migration to UTF16? 2) Any shop done MF UNICODE migration before ? Appreciated your kindly thoughts ... Regards, LaurenceFor PSF, see the Customization book (S550-0427). Appendix N. Activating Conversion Services describes configuring Unicode conversion services that PSF uses. You will also need to add the UNICODE parm to the EXEC statement in the PSF PROC ,PARM=(,,,,TCPIP,UNICODE). If you want to print Unicode data you will need to use TrueType Fonts and define FONTPATH to the Unix directory containing fonts installed by the Font or Resource Installer. This requires a printer that supports TrueType Fonts. You can also print UTF-16 data using the Unicode Migration Fonts PRPQ (5799- GJJ). This does not require Unicode support or TrueType Font support. See also the Page Printer Formatting Aid User's Guide, S544-5284-10 for information on printing UTF-8 as well as UTF-16. UTF-16 is the "native" Unicode encoding in MO:DCA (AFP). Howard Turetzky Advanced Technical Support [email protected]
