Supported character encoding

okt 13, 2017

In D2000 System there are the functions (actions) that work with the text files which could be encoded in other code than UTF-8. This feature is defined by encoding parameter which determines the method of conversion to be applied when reading or writing to a text file.

ESL functions supports these character encoding:

Note 1:
When using UTF-8 and UTF-16, there is possible to specify whether "BOM (Byte Order Mark)" is to be put at the beginning of output file. If there is defined for example "UTF-8" encoding, the mark is not put. If there is "UTF-8;BOM", the mark is put in the file. If BOM is in the file which is read, the identification of file encoding will be applied and BOM will be ignored.

Note 2:
The current encoding of operation system on which the process runs.

Note 3:
Initial encoding of application, which is set by the parameter for D2000 Server. It is global for all processes.

Note 4:
This encoding is equivalent to ISO-8859-1 but when reading / writing from / to a file, all bytes remain unchanged. It means, BOM mark is not ignored and the end of rows are not normalized.
