Kanji Character Set
Though the nine ISO 8859 character sets are not documented in full in the NonStop
SQL/MP documentation, the entry ASCII Character Set on page A-64 lists the ASCII
characters common to all nine ISO 8859 sets.
Kanji Character Set
The Kanji character set (also known as the Shift JIS character set and—within
Tandem—as the Tandem Kanji character set) is a double-byte character set originally
developed for CP/M microcomputers in Japan and later adopted for use on MS-DOS
systems. The Kanji character set is in common use on a variety of Japanese mainframes
as well. In NonStop SQL/MP, you use the keyword KANJI to specify the Kanji
character set.
NonStop SQL/MP always collates Kanji characters according to their binary values.
Neither byte of any Kanji character contains any binary value less than %H40, as
shown:
KS C5601 Character Set
The KS C5601 character set (also called the Tandem Korean character set or the Tandem
KSC5601 character set within Tandem) is the double-byte character set that is the
Korean Industrial Standard character set and is required on systems used by government
and banking sectors within Korea. In NonStop SQL/MP, you use the keyword KSC5601
to specify the KS C5601 character set.
NonStop SQL/MP always collates KS C5601 characters according to their binary
values.
Neither byte of any KS C5601 character contains any binary value less than %H40, as
shown:
First-byte range %H81 .. %H9F,
%HE0 .. %HFC
Second-byte range %H40 .. %H7E,
%H80 .. %HFC
Number of possible characters 11280
Two-byte space character %H8140
One-byte space character %H20
First-byte range %HA1 ..
%HFE
Second-byte range %HA1 ..
