Listing Character-Mapping Files

When you specify the -cm command-line option, the glfiles utility creates a file that lists the available character mapping (charmap) files. For each cmZ subdirectory in $INFORMIXDIR/gls, glfiles creates a file in the current directory that is called cmZ.txt, where Z is the version number of the charmap object-file format. The cmZ.txt file lists the character mappings in alphabetical order, sorted on the name of the GLS object charmap file.

Figure 8 shows a sample file, cm3.txt, that contains the available character mappings.

Filename: cm3/032d.cm
Code Set: 8859-7

Filename: cm3/0333.cm
Code Set: 8859-1

Filename: cm3/0352.cm
Code Set:  PC-Latin-1

Filename: cm3/04e4.cm
Code Set:  CP1252

Examine the cmZ.txt file to determine the character mappings that the $INFORMIXDIR/ gls/cmZ directory on your system supports.
