If the Teradata-defined Chinese character sets described in Chinese Character Sets are not appropriate for your site, you can define your own character sets using the following names, IDs, and encodings.
| Character Set Name | ID | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SDSCHEBCDIC935_6IJ | 75 | Simplified Chinese for mainframe clients. The encoding form is EBCDIC Shift-Out/Shift-In, where the shift-out character 0x0E and shift-in character 0x0F bracket zero or more double-byte characters. |
| SDTCHEBCDIC937_7IB | 76 | Traditional Chinese for mainframe clients. The encoding form is EBCDIC Shift-Out/Shift-In, where the shift-out character 0x0E and shift-in character 0x0F bracket zero or more double-byte characters. |
| SDSCHGB2312_2T0 | 94 | Simplified Chinese for network-attached clients. The encoding form is Extended UNIX Code (EUC), composed of two code sets: cs0 for single-byte characters and cs1 for double-byte characters. |
| SDTCHBIG5_3R0 | 95 | Traditional Chinese for network-attached clients. The value of the first byte in a sequence distinguishes single-byte characters from double-byte characters. |
The system uses the two characters following the underscore (_) in the character set name as a link to the mapping file you create in the TPA etc or TPA cfg directory. The name of the mapping file must start with “map_” and end with the first two characters following the underscore in the character set name.
For example, if you define a character set for SDTCHBIG5_3R0, you must create a mapping file named map_3R that provides the translation tables between the transitional forms and Unicode.
