Specifies the character set of the input file. InterSystems IRIS automatically translates the characters from this character encoding. The setting value is not case-sensitive. Use Binary for binary files, or for any data in which newline and line feed characters are distinct or must remain unchanged, for example in HL7 Version 2 or EDI messages. Other settings may be useful when transferring text documents. Choices include:
-
Binary — Binary transfer (the default for the FTP adapters)
-
Ascii — Ascii mode FTP transfer but no character encoding translation
-
Default — The default character encoding of the local InterSystems IRIS server
-
Latin1 — The ISO Latin1 8-bit encoding
-
ISO-8859-1 — The ISO Latin1 8-bit encoding
-
UTF-8 — The Unicode 8-bit encoding
-
UCS2 — The Unicode 16-bit encoding
-
UCS2-BE — The Unicode 16-bit encoding (Big-Endian)
-
Any other alias from an international character encoding standard for which NLS (National Language Support) is installed in InterSystems IRIS
-
@TranslationTable, where TranslationTable is the name of a translation table (in this case InterSystems IRIS uses the given translation table)
