Use R-code Out Code Page (-cprcodeout) to direct OpenEdge to use the code page you specify to mark and convert text segments (any translatable text) when it writes r-code. If you do not specify -cprcodeout, OpenEdge uses the code page you specify with Internal Code Page (-cpinternal) to write r-code.

code-page

Name of the code page for writing r-code text segments.

Typically, you do not need to specify this parameter since OpenEdge converts the text segment to the -cpinternal code page when reading r-code. However, if the code page of the intended user is known, you can use this parameter to provide r-code in the user's code page. Performance savings are not significant.

To retrieve the value of this startup parameter at runtime, use the SESSION system handle. To determine the code page of an r-code file, use the RCODE-INFO handle.
