Re: AS/400 Locale

We do not support Chinese characters.  All of MAPICS is in English.  We made a hiring decision that the management team would all be required to have a working knowledge of English.  We use software from Kingdee to meet some of the Chinese reporting regulations.

Hi Bob.
Interesting. So do you not support Chinese characters (DBCS) in your China mapics environment? Or do you have your primary O/S configured to be English Double Byte? Thanks

Jeff
