Character Set Profiles

Draft MDC Standard

☞

6 Character Set Profiles

Character Set Profiles are registered through the MUMPS Development Committee (ANSI X11). New Character Set Profile Definitions are approved through the standard procedures of the MUMPS Development Committee.

Routines and data created using a registered Character Set Profile are portable to all implementations which support that Character Set Profile.

The list of MDC registered Character Set Profiles is included in Annex A.

Note that subscript-string length (see 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.4.2, 2.4.3) is either the length of the value of the subscript, or the length of the computed Character Set Profile collation value, whichever is larger.

Collation values are not portable between implementations unless the value is explicitly stated in the definition of the Character Set Profile.
