Solution
The following example sets up a German codepage. This example assumes that you want to use an IBM-875 (German) codepage. It can be used as a guide for setting up other codepages.

To properly setup properly setup a German codepage using an IBM-875 codepage, you should perform the following operations :

1. Ensure that the emulator is using codepage IBM-875.
2. Use iconv to convert any IBM-1047 codepage files into IBM-875 codepage. 3. Ensure that the settings LC_ALL=El_GR.IBM-875 and LANG = C are included in the Web server's httpd.envvars file.
4. Ensure that the DefaultFsCp is set to IBM-875 and the DefaultNetCp is set to ISO8859-7 in the Web server's httpd.conf file.
5. If you are using JSP™, ensure that the header passes charset=Cp875. For example, the following should be specified for your input.jsp:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=windows-875" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Cp875">
