Code-set-conversion filesThe code-set-conversion file describes how to map each character in a particular source code set to the characters of a particular target code set.

Code-set-conversion source and object files

Each code-set conversion file has two forms.

Each code-set-conversion file has the following two forms:

The code-set-conversion source file is an ASCII file that describes the mapping to use for one direction of the code-set conversion.
This file has a .cv extension and serves as documentation for the corresponding object file.
The code-set-conversion object file is a compiled form of the code-set-conversion information.
HCL® OneDB® products use the object file to obtain code-set-conversion information quickly. Object code-set-conversion files have a .cvo file extension.

The header of the code-set-conversion source file (.cv) lists the two code sets that it converts and the direction of the conversion.
