Host Character Set

This option sets the host language (also known as the codepage). When configuring Pro and Java AS/400 and mainframe display or printer profiles, the option appears on the Connection page.

To specify the Host Character Set, select the language character set (or codepage) for the client session. If the host uses a non-English (United States) language, select the language used by the host.

The host character set includes commonly used marks, accents, letters, and symbols of a specific language. For example, if the host language is French, the host character set must also be French to ensure that French special characters are transmitted to the host correctly and that the characters received from the host display in the client session correctly.

The default setting is English (United States) - 37.
