Re: Russian Text

Hi Justin,

There are others here with more experience on using the CCSID values for manipulating character sets, but from the question about a "lookup table to convert English words to Cyrrillic" characters, it sounds like a possible translation issue.

If the spool text is in English, then you have to separate the issues into two or three more: (1) translation of the text to Russian, and (2) the other, setting up the technical issues relating to the character sets, and (3) a printer that can print it.

For number (1), being as much at home in Spanish as I am in English, you do not want to use any such word-conversion table, and you do *not* want to use an automatic translation program, almost never. Although you can get by with a phrase-book for ordering food (sometimes), there's too many missed meanings in real life. I don't know if they'll ever have such a reasonable program. They can be useful in very limited circumstances.

I have been given a requirement to print spool text in a Russian(Cyrillic) font. Is there a way to do this is RPG? Do I need a lookup table to convert English words to Russian(Cyrillic). We are printing to an HP Laserjet 8000 series printer. I have talked with HP about getting a font loaded on the printer, that was a dead end. I am running out of options. Any help will be well received.

Thanks,
