xml2dcm and wlsmcpfs

[niso]

i found your tool xml2dcm that convert xml files to dicom files that can be used as database for the wlsmscpfs tool
the xml2dcm work also with these characters:
ASCII "ISO_IR 6" (UTF-8)
UTF-8 "ISO_IR 192" (UTF-8)
ISO Latin 1 "ISO_IR 100" (ISO-8859-1)
ISO Latin 2 "ISO_IR 101" (ISO-8859-2)
ISO Latin 3 "ISO_IR 109" (ISO-8859-3)
ISO Latin 4 "ISO_IR 110" (ISO-8859-4)
ISO Latin 5 "ISO_IR 148" (ISO-8859-9)
Cyrillic "ISO_IR 144" (ISO-8859-5)
Arabic "ISO_IR 127" (ISO-8859-6)
Greek "ISO_IR 126" (ISO-8859-7)
Hebrew "ISO_IR 138" (ISO-8859-8)
did the wlsmcpf work with them also??and if not whit whom of them is it work??i mean if my database is in cyrillic for example what will the mlmscpfs will do if he recive and c find request to these files??

The short answer is: wlmscpfs only supports ASCII and ISO Latin 1.

The long answer can be found in the documentation:

The returned character set options are intended for situations in which the
wlmscpfs application will return attribute values which are not composed of
characters from the DICOM default character repertoire. In such cases, for
example option --return-iso-ir-100 can be used to specify that a response
to a modality's worklist management C-FIND request shall always contain
DICOM's Specific Character Set attribute (0008,0005) with a corresponding
value, indicating the character repertoire from which the characters of
returned attribute values were taken (in this example the repertoire ISO IR
100). Please note that the wlmscpfs application will not make sure that all
returned values are actually made up of this character repertoire; the
application expects this to be the case. Option --return-iso-ir-100 will
only lead to the inclusion of the Specific Character Set attribute (0008,0005)
with a corresponding value in a worklist management C-FIND response.

Please note that a C-FIND request which is handled by this application may
contain DICOM's Specific Character Set attribute (0008,0005), but this
application will never use this attribute's value for matching. Besides, the
question if DICOM's Specific Character Set attribute (0008,0005) will be
contained in a C-FIND response which is returned by this application is always
determined by the returned character set option which was specified when this
application was started.

thak you
but can i find repertories for other languages and put it in the place of the iso-ir 100?
if my c find request ask by date for example so the wlsmcpfs dont need to read the character will he send them like they are in the databse or not?
