Character Sets for DOS
Go Up to Character Sets and Collation Orders
The following character sets correspond to MS-DOS code pages, and should be used to specify character sets for InterBase databases that are accessed by Paradox for DOS and dBASE for DOS:
| Character set | DOS code page |
|---|---|
|
DOS437 |
437 |
|
DOS850 |
850 |
|
DOS852 |
852 |
|
DOS857 |
857 |
|
DOS860 |
860 |
|
DOS861 |
861 |
|
DOS863 |
863 |
|
DOS865 |
865 |
The names of collation orders for these character sets that are specific to Paradox begin “PDOX”. For example, the DOS865 character set for DOS code page 865 supports a Paradox collation order for Norwegian and Danish called “PDOX_NORDAN4”.
The names of collation orders for these character sets that are specific to dBASE begin “DB”. For example, the DOS437 character set for DOS code page 437 supports a dBASE collation order for Spanish called “DB_ESP437”.
For more information about DOS code pages, and Paradox and dBASE collation orders, see the appropriate Paradox and dBASE documentation and driver books.
