What is a code page in Informatica..

Answer / shankar

The code page is used to specify the character encoding. It is selected based on the source data. We have to select appropriate code page based on the source data. You can set it in both source level as well as target FF. For source flat file, open edit table, advanced button and under that you can see code page. For example if the source contains Thai,Japanese,turky etc., we have to use corresponding code page from the list in order to make sure informatica read data properly.
