 1  Introduction
    ==========
                
 This readme file provides supplementary information for the 
 manual "Unicode in BS2000/OSD".
                       
         
                                  
 2  Show contents of a file (SHOW-FILE)
    ===================================

SHOW-FILE as of V17.1A also supports the output of files with the 
character sets UTFE, UTF8, UTF16 and other ASCII character sets.

SHOW-FILE interprets the data in a data character set and converts 
them for output in a communication character set.
Contents of files in all character sets supported by XHCS can thus be 
output using XHCS. This also applies when the data character set is not 
supported by the terminal.

Detailed information is in the manual
Commands volume 6 (BS2000/OSD).

http://manuals.ts.fujitsu.com/file/8554/cmd_6.pdf                                                        

                                                                 

 3  Unicode support in UDS/SQL
    ===========================

UDS/SQL as of V2.5 enables saving and retrieval of Unicode characters in 
UDS/SQL databases.

In UDS/SQL databases you can define fields of the data type NATIONAL
CHARACTER and NATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING and save the 
Unicode data in UTF-16 format. Meta data, such as the names of 
record types, sets and realms, are still output and saved in EBCDIC.

As part of restructuring, new fields of the data type
NATIONAL are initialized with the national blank.

Detailed information about Unicode support in UDS/SQL is in the 
manuals 'UDS/SQL Design & Define (BS2000/OSD)',
'UDS/SQL Creation & Restr (BS2000/OSD)' and 'UDS/SQL Database Operations
(BS2000/OSD).
