Table 4 - 1. New Names for Obsolete NLS Data Character Sets
Character set CL8MSWINDOW31 has been de-supported. The newer character set CL8MSWIN1251 is actually a duplicate of CL8MSWINDOW31 and includes some characters omitted from the earlier version. Change any usage of CL8MSWINDOW31 to CL8MSWIN1251 instead.
