Hi all,
What is the Code Page?

A code page is a specific mapping (or in the case of Unicode, a specific subset of a larger mapping) of binary values into character glyphs. For example, Turkish EBCDIC (CCSID 1026) is a different code page from US-English EBCDIC, which replaces the Latin 1 upper- and lower-case characters "Eth," "Thorn," and "A-Ring" with upper- and lower-case versions of "G-Breve" and "S-Cedilla," as well as a dotless lowercase i, and a dotted uppercase I, and rearranges all but the "invariant" characters a bit.


The common Western European EBCDIC code pages, and the "Multinational" code page, are just slightly different permutations of the Latin 1 characters, using slight variations on EBCDIC encoding.

Naturally, ASCII/ANSI and EBCDIC use completely different code pages.

Generally, if you use an existing file whose code page is both supported and correctly identified, EDTF should use the correct code page. And even if it isn't correctly identified, it may very well be able to correctly deduce the code page from the contents of the file.
