Hi All ,
We have a req where we receive the file which contain Japanese characters .
But once DS process the file the data is getting displayed as "?????"
Is this a DS problem or a DB issue .

Can any one let me know how to fix this .
I am using Project default (ISO8859-1) NLS setting.

ISO8859-1 can not read Japanese characters. You will need to find out how the characters are encoded in the file (for example SHIFT-JIS - there are about 14 possible maps that might be being used) and specify that map.
