^$CHARACTER

Draft MDC Standard

7.1.3.1 ^$Character

^$C[HARACTER] ( charsetexpr )

    charsetexpr::= expr V charset

^$Character provides information regarding the available Character Set Profiles on a system, such as collation order and pattern code definitions.

If and only if a Character Set Profile identified by charset exists, ^$Character(charset) is defined ($Data returns a non-zero value); all non-empty string values are reserved for future extensions to the standard.

Data manipulation and the execution of commands within a process are performed in the context of the process charset. (See 7.1.3.4 ^$Job)
