Differences with versions of the CharacterSetValidation package

The package avoids data corruption by preventing clients of versions of Rational ClearQuest software from submitting non-ASCII data to schema repositories. The package is used when a Rational ClearQuest data code page for a schema repository is set to ASCII. If a user performs an action that attempts to send non-ASCII data to the user database, code page mismatch error is displayed.

Version 2.0 of the package disables version 1.0 if it is no longer needed. Version 2002.05.01 Patch 02 added features to enforce code page checking. If you applied version 1.0 and then upgraded all clients to version 2002.05.01 Patch 02 and later, you must apply version 2.0 to disable version 1.0.
