Hi
I am creating a job in which sequential file contains japanese characters . To read the file I have tried following NLS mapping -Project default (ASCL_MS1252) ,UTF-8 ,Extended_UNIX_Code_Packed_Format_for_Japanese.I am not sure which NLS mapping is used to read these characters.

Could you suggest which NLS mapping is used to read japanese character.

Welcome aboard. It's not clear whether you are in a server job (you've posted in the server job forum) or a parallel job (you've marked the job type as parallel). There are at least 14 different encodings for Japanese characters, you need to find out which has been used in your file. Chances are, however, that the encoding used was SHIFT-JIS. Ask the providers of the file.

Set environment variable $NLS_LANG in each of your JOB
