I Need to install NLS for Chinese characters

Go ahead. Do it. Make sure you get the right map (simplified or traditional) for the character set in your data.

(1 Chinese character is equal to 2 bytes).

This is not necessarily the case, particularly for traditional Chinese, which may have 1, 2, 3 or even 4 bytes for a character (and different lengths for different characters), again depending on which actual encoding is being used.

I designed and tested the job for 500 rows of Chinese data. The job successfully executing but the fields having the Chinese data arae loaded as ??? or blank data in file.

When iam using NLS Map as gb18030,GB_2312-80 no data is loading.

When UTF-8 is taken as NLS Map data is loading in to normal fields but problem with chinese data(loaded as ??? or blank data in file) as i told above.

please help me what needs to do for this issue?

Step by step.

What is your source and what stage are you using to read it? Don't use "view data" to determine whether or not data is being correctly transferred.

my source is Sequential file and the target is DB2. loaded the chines data into DB2 database with utf8(NLS). it was loaded as ????.

Start with a simple job that takes your sequential file and reads it using the file's NLS set of GB_2312-80 (assuming that is the file's setting), then write to another sequential file in unicode format and look at the file in Unicode to see if the contents are correctly mapped. Once you have that working you know that your problem is not in the read part but somewhere else.
