- The name of the code page used in memory.
Use
Internal Code Page (-cpinternal) to identify the
code page used in memory and for graphical clients. For graphical
clients, the -cpinternal code page should be the
same code page that the operating system uses. If you do not use -cpinternal,
the iso8859-1 code page is used by default. To retrieve the value
of this startup parameter at run time, use the CPINTERNAL attribute
of the SESSION System handle.
Note: Do
not use a 7-bit table with
-cpinternal. Use 7-bit
tables for converting data from a 7-bit terminal to another code
page only. Do not use them for character conversion in memory or
for the database.
