To customize a schema, you must first check it out from the schema
repository. When you check out a schema, a copy of the schema is created for
you to edit. The new version of the schema is created when you check in this
modified copy.
You cannot check out a schema if the
Rational® ClearQuest® data
code page value of the schema repository does not match the operating system
code page of the machine that runs the Designer. If the
Rational ClearQuest data
code page value for the schema repository is not set, you can enter only ASCII
data into the schema. For more information about the data code page value,
see
About the Rational ClearQuest data
code page.

out a schema to edit is selected.
