ASE installation

[Thu Nguyen_2]

Please help me with 2 questions:
1. How can I check if ASE has installed on my system???
2. If not, how can I install that???
Thanks

I'm not familiar with ASE. Could it be called ACE (Additional Core Enhancements)? If so, run swlist -l bundle to see what has been installed at the bundle level.

If ASE is truly the product name, use swlist -l product | grep -i ase. However, not many vendors use the industry standard SD program to package their products so you may have to search around. Start with man pages to see if any of the commands exist. Look in /opt for a directory that might contain ASE, and look in /usr/contrib and perhaps /usr/local. The instructions for the ASE product should tell you how to install and run it.

I'm sorry that my question was not clear. ASE means Asian System Environment. The reason I ask this question since I have problems to use iconv to convert from utf8 to Asian language. The European language works fine. In /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables I don't see the tables defined in the config.iconv (e.g ucs2=eucJP) so I assume I'm having problem with ASE.
Thanks for your respond. Please help me again.

Try a swlist -l bundle or fileset ? grep -i ase or asian ?

FYI : Series 700 - B1515AA s700 ASE for HP-UX
(Asian System Environment)

Series 800 - B1520AA s800 ASE for HP-UX
(Asian System Environment)

The above 2 products i beleive are purchaseable and most likely codeworded on the apps CD's.

Sounds to me as this may just be a problem with iconv ?

what O/S are you ?
