MBCS statement
Use the MBCS statement to specify whether or not CSSMTP supports multi-byte character sets.
Syntax
Parameters
- MBCS
- Specifies whether CSSMTP supports multi-byte character sets.
- NO
- Multi-byte character sets are not supported. This is the default value.
- YES
- Multi-byte character sets are supported.
Results: If an update to the MBCS statement is detected during a dynamic refresh, CSSMTP continues to use the old MBCS value and a warning message is written to the log and the console.
Restrictions:
- If MBCS is specified as NO:
- The TRANSLATE statement must specify a single byte code page.
- The MBCharset statement, if specified, will be ignored.
- If MBCS is specified as YES:
- The TRANSLATE statement must specify a multi-byte code page.
- The MBCharset statement must be specified for each TargetServer, and it must be a multi-byte code page.
Usage notes: When migrating from the SMTP server, the following table contains suggestions for the TRANSLATE and MBCharset code pages that correspond to the SMTP server DBCS statement. The TRANSLATE code page must be the code page of the mail file on the JES spool, and the MBCharset code page must be the code page in which the TargetServer expects to receive the mail.
