Re: Help with HTTP cfg and issues re mult-language

Thanks for your follow-up.


They *provide *web services and use your *GETURI for consuming* web
services. In fact, part of the problem is consuming a web service that
provides address validation --- and that address requires multi-language
character sets.


They are well aware of GDPR and it’s requirements, etc. and have been
operating in Europe for some time, though on a limited basis.


It seems like this solution might involve a combination of both CCSID(s) to
facilitate the multi-language character sets --- and the incorporation of
‘secondary’ files (possibly Unicode) to hold the multi-language
representation for special languages. Our main goal is to determine ‘best
practices’ for going forward, not re-inventing the wheel.


Their current HTTP cfg is as follows which handles Western European
languages but not the full European set (possibly minus double-byte):

CGIConvMode %%EBCDIC/EBCDIC%%

DefaultNetCCSID 1208



Other HTTP considerations might be the use/impact of:

1. CHGHTTPA
2. Directives such as:

<Location /lng-pol/>

CGIJobCcsid 914

Matt,

Do they want to consume web services only? Or also offer them? Or both?

Honestly, if no one has, the first thing I'd dig into is GDPR. You'll need
to take a lot of that into account when putting anything on the web.

As far as CCSID I've not had any issues unless there were DBCS characters
involved, and even then Unicode should work fine if I recall (back years
ago we had issues with it, but I believe those are all taken care of now).

inventory reservation/cancellation, inquiry as well as order input/

of the HTTP server and the CCSID issues involved with processing the
requests. Note, the country code and/or language code are part of the
URL. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
