Hi,
Yes you are right ...The character is displayed correctly in my outputfile...but my QS doesnt take that as input...it doesnt recognise umlaut...the special character just disappears and the place is take by the subsequent character...resulting in a distorted format...
Please suggest..

Regards,
Saad

Saad,

so this thread in the Server forum is finished - DS outputs NLS characters as it should.

Now you need to start a discussion in the QS forum asking why German characters are not being correctly read in. I haven't used QS in a long time so am not able to help you on that front. I would try to have QS read the file with no NLS mapping, but please post the question there to get the correct interest group looking at your problem.

Thanks Arnd and Ray,
I think you are right...anyways thanks so much for your help.

Regards,
Saad Mirza
