Using the ivcheckcp Utility

The ivcheckcp utility, located in the installdir/tools subdirectory, checks the codepage of your system and displays the locale, code page, iananame and IANAAppCodePage. The IANAAppCodePage number is the transliteration configuration parameter for the DataDirect Driver Manager on Linux/UNIX.

Check the “IANAAppCodePage Values” table to make sure that the IANAAppCodePage value you looked up on the IANA Web page is supported by the ODBC Client. If the value is not listed, contact Technical Support to request that support for that value be added.

The syntax of this command is

ivcheckcp <locale>

Example 1 (on AIX)

$ ./ivcheckcp en_US.ISO8859-1 
                locale         codepage       iananame IANAAppCodePage
       en_US.ISO8859-1        ISO8859-1       ISO-8859-1 4

Example 2 (on AIX)

$ ./ivcheckcp ’locale -a’
             locale         codepage       iananame IANAAppCodePage
