UNICODE Characters

Do you have NLS enabled?

[ag_ram]

yes i have NLS enabled.

I tried for a couple of options also like ISO8859-1+MARKS, ISO8859-1 along with UTF-8.

The issue is, the logic is working fine with most of the characters but it can't identify anything whose hex value is > 256 for these characters it's reading as ? through seq file no matter what NLS map i am trying where as in test routine console it's able to identify and convert it according to the logic.

Well ISO8859-1 only goes up to 255, so that will never work. What happened when you tried UTF8 as the map (and did you set UTF8-CS as the client-server map in this case)? Are you seeing the ? (unhandled character) only in View Data, or also in the output file? Finally have you tried using the pseudo-map NONE ?

[asorrell]

Not to hijack a thread - but does the pseudo-map NONE just do a pass-through of the data? It isn't in the doc...

When you need to check characters beyond 255, use UniChar() and UniSeq() rather than Char() and Seq(). Convert() is not affected.

NONE is a pseudo-map that, yes, does a pass-through. Its the correct map to use for working with hashed files that don't need to be accessed by non-NLS systems.
