SetInputCharacterSet
SetInputCharacterSet function lets you specify the character set used in a TurboIntegrator data source.
This function is valid in TM1® TurboIntegrator processes only.
When a TurboIntegrator process reads an external file as input, it needs to know the character set in which that external file was written. If the file contains a valid byte-order-mark, TM1 functions will correctly convert the file to UTF-8 if required.
For formats lacking a valid byte-order-mark, the characters must be converted from some other encoding to UTF-8. If the proper converters are present on the machine hosting the server, the input file will be converted to the Unicode character set required by TM1.
