Have you defined your meta data as varchar unicode?

I tried both with and without unicode in Extended property for varchar.

Neither worked.

What happens when you "view data" ?

The file doesn't get FTPed. If you view the data in UNIX (after getting it manually), the characters are displayed fine in Vi editor but Datastage reads it as a ? that is, Datastage does let you "view" data but with a "?" for the unreadable character.

Is this just an NLS problem?

Would it be possible to switch your FTP mode to binary? It sounds like the problems are due to trying to send a non-ascii file as ascii.


chowdary_kish, you would be better served starting your own thread if a search doesn't give you the answer you need. Your problem is not identical to the original poster's.
