Hi,
How do I find if DataStage installed with NLS enabled option?
I am converting data from EBCDIC character set to an ASCII character set.
Thanks

Open the uvconfig file and search for NLSMODE. You can edit this for to enable / disable.
I am not sure how to check whether NLS option is installed or not!

Look in uvconfig to see if you have any NLS settings (like NLSMODE) mentioned. No entries = NLS not installed. Also note that NLS can be installed but not enabled.
ps. You shouldn't need NLS to convert EBCDIC to ASCII... depending on the target characterset, I suppose.

New information to me.
That means uvconfig will be created based on the installation option at the run time!!
I was in the immagination that uvconfig file is one of the Predefined file in the installation package!

Do jobs have an NLS tab in job properties? If yes, NLS is installed and configured (enabled). If no, NLS is either not enabled (NLSMODE=0 in the uvconfig file) or not installed at all (no NLS entries in the uvconfig file).

The uvconfig file is created at install time, not at run time. It may be mostly pre-defined before installing, but the NLS settings can change based on if you install NLS or not.
