IBM EE 1.2 Lan Server Expanded Character Set (64485)






This article was previously published under Q64485

SUMMARY

When installing IBM EE 1.2 Lan Server or Lan Requester, the User ID, Group ID, Password, and Domain names are by default limited to what IBM refers to as the "Minimal Character Set," which consists of the characters A-Z, a-z, #, @, $, and 0-9. This limitation is meant to maintain compatibility with the Communications Manager and Database Manager components of IBM EE 1.2 Lan Server or Lan Requester, which are limited to this minimal set.

If names with other characters are desired (for example, a domain name of "FLOOR_5"), the "Expanded Character Set" can be used by entering the following from the command line:

upmcset /e

The Expanded Character Set permits use of the following characters:

A-Z, a-z, #, @, $, 0-9
All accented characters
All extended keyboard character, except ."/\[];:|<>+=,?*

To return to the Minimal Character Set, enter the following from the command line:

upmcset /m
