In computing, a code page is a character encoding and as such it is a specific association of a set of printable characters and control characters with unique numbers. Typically each number represents the binary value in a single byte. (In some contexts these terms are used more precisely; see Character encoding § Terminology.)
e. Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code[1][2] (EBCDIC; [1] / ˈɛbsɪdɪk /) is an eight- bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems. It descended from the code used with punched cards and the corresponding six-bit binary-coded decimal code used with most of IBM's computer ...
The IBM 1130 Computing System, introduced in 1965, [3] was IBM 's least expensive computer at that time. A binary 16-bit machine, it was marketed to price-sensitive, computing-intensive technical markets, like education and engineering, succeeding the decimal IBM 1620 in that market segment. Typical installations included a 1 megabyte disk ...
A CCSID (coded character set identifier) is a 16-bit number that represents a particular encoding of a specific code page.For example, Unicode is a code page that has several character encoding schemes (referred to as "transformation forms")—including UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32—but which may or may not actually be accompanied by a CCSID number to indicate that this encoding is being used.
Code page 437 (CCSID 437) is the character set of the original IBM PC (personal computer). [2] It is also known as CP437, OEM-US, OEM 437, [3] PC-8, [4] or DOS Latin US. [5] The set includes all printable ASCII characters as well as some accented letters (), Greek letters, icons, and line-drawing symbols.
S/370-XA. ESA/370. ESA/390. z/Architecture. v. t. e. The IBM System/360 (S/360) is a family of mainframe computer systems announced by IBM on April 7, 1964, and delivered between 1965 and 1978. [1] System/360 was the first family of computers designed to cover both commercial and scientific applications and a complete range of applications from ...
Code page 850 (CCSID 850) (also known as CP 850, IBM 00850, [2] OEM 850, [3] DOS Latin 1 [4]) is a code page used under DOS operating systems [a] in Western Europe. [5] Depending on the country setting and system configuration, code page 850 is the primary code page and default OEM code page in many countries, including various English-speaking locales (e.g. in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and ...
Code page 1104. Code page 1104 ( CCSID 1104), [ 1] also known as CP1104, [ 2] F7DEC, [ 3] ISO-IR-025 or NF Z 62-010 (1973)[ 4] is an IBM code page number assigned to the French variant of DEC 's National Replacement Character Set (NRCS). [ 5][ 6] The 7-bit character set was introduced for DEC's computer terminal systems, starting with the VT200 ...
