Hello Gurus,
I am having a problem. I am getting a file with UNICODE Format. I need to convert to the normal format. Actually, the file is containing "Arabic data" I need to convert it into normal file (i.e. MS1256). Please help me to solve it.

Thanks

You will have to install National Language Support (NLS) with your DataStage server. When you do this, you will see an NLS tab next to the General Tab in your data source and target stages.

In the source stage, specify UTF-8 (Unicode).

In the target stage, specify MS 1256 (Arabic). This NLS map is not installed by default, so you'll have to make sure that you install it from the DataStage CD.
