For each different DCE platform that exists in the cell, the cell administrator takes that
platform’s licensee-generated character and code set registry source file and modifies
the code set records within it to add the local code set names of any additional code
sets that the site supports. (Note that the DCE licensees will have already modified the
code set records for each code set that their DCE platform supports.) The cell
administrator can also add to each platform-specific source file any site-specific, non-
OSF registered code set names and values.
The cell administrator modifies the code set records that correspond to the code sets
that the site supports as follows:
• For each code set that the site supports, replace the NONE keyword in the
loc_name field of the code set record the name that your site uses to refer to the
code set and the operating system code set converters associated with it. For
example, in a UNIX environment, code set converters exist in the iconv directory.
In this case, you would examine this directory to determine the names of the code
set converters.
• Fill in the description field of the code set record to provide a detailed description
of the code set and character set(s) that it supports. The text field can contain
multiple lines; use the backslash character (\) to continue the line. If the site does
not support a given code set, you must leave the NONE keyword in the code set
record.
• Fill in the max_byte field of the code set record with the maximum number of
bytes that the code set uses to encode one character. The count should include any
single-shift control characters, if used.
• Add new values for any site-specific code set values or character set values that
have not been registered with OSF to the appropriate rgy_value and char_values
fields. These values must be in the range 0xf5000000 through 0xfffffff so that they
