I would point out that all the chars in my databases are not based on ANSI but on OEM, MS-DOS CP 850.
Since 1986 with Clipper. All that is put on the screen or printer with my Windows applications,
is translated before with OemToAnsi().

Dear G. N. Rao, I could not use your browser because there is a « syntax error at SHOW » for my xHarbour compiler. Here are lists with my internal browser, printed in pdf : - http://icim.fr.free.fr/test/test-french-dbfcdx-collation-codepage-fr850.pdf - http://icim.fr.free.fr/test/test-french-dbfcdx-...

Solved in great part by insert RDDInit() on the start of main .prg, after reminder by David A. Smith in xHarbour forum. :oops: Upper() continue to return accents in uppercase, but my alphabetic lists are very better. The "é" was after "z" before, now the "é" is before &...

But if ADS is not connected, or if we want change RDD to DBFCDX for example, Upper() of xHarbour is used, who is not compatible with alphabétic order. Because the ASCII codes of all accented chars are after the ASCII code of "Z". This is why it is necessary to "destroy" all accen...

Because i not found the way to replace Upper() by my own Upper() in xHarbour, and ADS reconize only "Upper" name in indexed keys.
My function Maj() do what Clipper do, and it is not a problem when i don't use ADS. I cannot use ADS only because this.

I have posted a message in xHarbour forum here : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... ZDXRiQpoP8

UPPER() with Clipper help also to eliminate accent. [x]Harbour do not make this. This is a important difference. With Clipper we have correct alphabetic lists, with [x]Harbour no. Clipper was more correct. [x]Harbour developpers must make Upper() working like Clipper, and create a new function to re...

I think that accented characters returned by the UPPER() function of [x]Harbour, is not a good idea..
With that, impossible to have a list in alphabetic order.

It is not like Clipper. With Clipper you have "EAUE".
It is a big problem in the indexed lists with alphabetic order... Because "é" is after "z" for example.

Where can i find the list of possible parameters for HB_SetCodePage() please ?

There is no change when i replace "FR" by "FRWIN"..

My databases are in DOS codepage ASCII

Hi Nageswaragunupudi,

This is in my code :

HB_LangSelect("FR")
HB_SetCodePage("FR")
SET(_SET_LANGUAGE, "FR")

Example : Upper("é"), Upper("è") or Upper("ê") must return "E"

Do you want the complete list of char impacted in french ?

Hi Enrico ! I prepare it to you. It is a little complex because translation ASCII-ANSI. I retrieve this test function you gave to me and i modify it to try to see more : **************** FUNCTION FWTEST15() **************** local i, c, u:={}, l:={}, a[256], s:="" LOCAL charsASCII :={}, cha...

Hello, there is a long time ! Everybody works well ? :D I submit to you this because it is a big problem for me (and maybe others french users) : - I cannot use UPPER() function because it not return the good value with accented characters. I was obliged to create my own function to replace UPPER(),...
