Identifying the code page used to encode input data

Information about the code page used to encode the input data is often available from the data source documentation or from the System Administrator.

You can also open a sample input data file in StreamServe UTF Edit to identify the code page used.

To use UTF Edit to identify the code page

1	In UTF Edit, select Edit > Set Font.

2	From the Fonts drop-down list, select a font that supports a wide range of code pages (e.g. Arial) and click OK.

3	Open the sample input data file.

4	Select Edit > Code Page and select a code page that displays all characters correctly in UTF Edit.

If you cannot find the accurate code page, repeat the procedure with another font. If you still cannot find the accurate code page, you must install a more suitable font.
