Chapter 2. General Options
The CECP supported languages are marked in the Languages Table with a plus sign.
Unless you plan carefully, use of CECP can have unexpected effects on the data in your
network. You should consider the following before choosing to enable CECP:
• Whether the devices in your network support CECP
• Whether your host’s applications can process CECP data
• Whether filters in host applications could reject or erroneously translate CECP data
• Whether the host is using previously undefined code points from the original country

ASCII considerations
Certain languages (identified in the Languages Table) are available for use with
ASCII devices.
The ADU contains Primary and Secondary language translate tables for ASCII devices
and hosts if further definition is necessary.
Software Requirements
The following languages have their own character generators. To correctly display all
the characters in a particular language, that language’s character generator must be
installed in the display station. Languages followed by an asterisk (*) are supported
by both 3270 hosts and ASCII hosts. Languages that are not followed by an asterisk
are supported only by 3270 hosts.

All other languages supported by LINCS use the Base character generator. If two
languages are configured that have different character generators, one of the languages
may not display characters correctly. For example, if German and Icelandic are configured
and the terminal has only a Base character generator, the Icelandic characters that differ
from the characters on the Base character generator will not display correctly.
