6. Call parameters in detail

6.8. Parameter --codepage

[-p]

The --codepage parameter controls the currently used character set for the control file (for control file see parameter --datafile or --headerfile).  


Syntax
--codepage=<Zeichensatz>
<Zeichensatz>: pca, pc, utf-8 oder ansi

Description

If the parameter --codepage is not specified and thus no character set is defined for the control file, the default is the declaration in the RTF input file (e.g. \rtf1\ansi). The following character sets are permitted: pca, pc, utf-8 or ansi.


Examples
--codepage=pca

Here a different character set is used in the CSV files (here pca). This must be specified via the --codepage parameter.

The use of the parameter is described in detail in the use case example Gap Text.

Note:

For the RTF templates the code page specified in the RTF input file is always used.
