Stream Code Page (-cpstream)
Use Stream Code Page (-cpstream) to identify the code page OpenEdge uses
for stream I/O. Character terminals use the code page you specify for
-cpstream unless you also specify a value for Terminal Code Page (-cpterm), Print Code Page (-cpprint), or Log File Code Page (-cplog).

- code-page
- Name of the code page for stream I/O.
Stream I/O consists of the following elements:
- Terminals (includes character terminals and DOS Protected mode, but does not include graphical interfaces or the Windows character interface)
- Data (.d) files
-
READ-FILE,WRITE-FILE, andINSERT-FILEmethods for theEDITORwidget -
INPUTFROMandOUTPUT TOstatements - All compilable files, such as: .p,
.w,.i - Compiler-generated
LISTING,XREF, andPREPROCESSfiles
Note: Do not use a 7-bit table with -cpstream. 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.
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.
