Determining what code page your print jobs use and setting the correct environment variable

Before you transform a print job, you need to determine what code page it uses, then set the PSFDBLANG environment variable to that code page. If the job was created on an AIX or a Windows workstation, you can determine the code page that the job uses by finding out what code page is active on that system. On the system that the job was created on, open a Command Prompt window and type:

chcp

then press Enter. The system responds with

Active code page: xxx

where xxx represents a three- to five-digit number. Use this number to set the PSFDBLANG environment variable with these steps.

1. On your InfoPrint Manager server system, click the WindowsStart button and select Settings –>Control Panel.
   Note: If you have more than one InfoPrint Manager server system, you need to set this environment variable on all of the servers that contain actual destinations that will use the db2afp transform.
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click System.
3. In the System Properties dialog, click Environment.
4. In the Variable field, type PSFDBLANG.
5. In Code pages and their associated PSFDBLANG values, locate the Code Page Value that you got from your system above.

   Code pages and their associated PSFDBLANG values

   Code Page Value	PSFDBLANG Value	Language
   932	J	Japanese PC
   950	T	Traditional Chinese PC
   33722 or eucJP	JE	Japanese EUC
   964 or eucTW	CE	Traditional Chinese EUC
   970 or eucKR	KE	Traditional Korean EUC

6. Find the PSFDBLANG Value that corresponds to that code page and type it in the Value field of the System Properties dialog.
   Note: The PSFDBLANG Value is case-sensitive. Be sure to type it in all caps.
7. Click OK.

The db2afp command assumes that all jobs use this code page as long as you do not specify either the -i flag or the -e flag when running the command from a Command Prompt window.
