Character Set

Added November 2013

cformat switch:  1, 8

Two cformat codes allow you to override the default character set at the column level:

• "1" interprets the column data as ANSI/Latin1

• "8" interprets the column data as UTF8

The overall default character set for the tree is ANSI/Latin1, unless the XTF2_UTF8 flag is set, in which case it is UTF8.

Note: the entire coldef string is interpreted according to the default character set for the tree, so you cannot mix UTF8 and Latin1-encoded titles even though the corresponding columns are individually set with "1" or "8".

Two new sample programs, XUTF8B and XUTF8C illustrate both cases of mixed UTF8 and Latin1 columns.
