How Rational ClearQuest validates data code page characters

Rational® ClearQuest® ensures a consistent use of characters across all systems in its environment.

You are required to select a value for the Rational ClearQuest Data Code Page field for each Rational ClearQuest schema repository. The application then uses this data code page value to determine what characters can be entered from a client into a Rational ClearQuest database. Rational ClearQuest uses its data code page setting to enforce the consistent use of the same character set across applications using the user databases and schemas within a database set.

For a complete listing of supported Rational ClearQuest data code pages and their correspondence to languages, vendor database character sets, and country locale settings, see Supported data code pages, Supported vendor database character sets, and Locales associated with supported Rational ClearQuest data code pages.
