IBM Power Ideas Portal

Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to this portal to enhance a Power product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas and add comments to ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The Power teams will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

OVRPRTF FILE(xx) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) WSCST(*PDF) TOSTMF('/xxxxxxxx/xxx.pdf')

CHRID & FNTCHRSET can be used to achieve the Thai Language transform, what would be the setup for Vietnamese language?

Noticed Vietnamese language is part of the supported language under T1001129/T1001130 but how it can incorporate in the transform service?

If this is not support yet, can IBM service include the Vietnamese language too under transform service?


Use Case:

Local language is important for notification/alert/advice that sending to customer for better understanding on the message to be delivered, also it is regulatory requirement in some advice service.

As electronical is the global trend as delivery channels (i.e SMS/eMail) for effectiveness and efficiency, it is very important IBM can support the generation of PDF with Vietnamese language to support the email notification service too.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. As businesses move into the international market, this becomes more of a "must have" to support enough of the most popular world languages.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    An enhancement to support the correct rendering of all world scripts will be considered for a future enhancement. This solution may, or may not include the specific methods specified in this RFE, as other methods may be easier for all end users to employ.
